Scott H. Kapilian

A principal attorney at Fellman Kapilian Law, P.C., Scott H. Kapilian focuses his practice exclusively on complex commercial real estate matters. A native of Boston, he works out of the firm's offices in neighboring Newton, and he represents clients on projects throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Kapilian has been with his current firm since 2003, and he has been admitted to practice in Massachusetts since 1993.

Mr. Kapilian has handled a wide variety of commercial real estate projects, and he and his firm place a particular emphasis on shopping centers, office buildings, restaurants and other retail establishments, industrial complexes, and mixed-use developments. He has participated in every stage of the process, including development, financing, leasing, and purchases and sales. Mr. Kapilian counts among his clients developers, commercial landlords, retail and office tenants, lenders, and multiple well-known local universities, among others. He regularly prepares and reviews commercial leases, loan documentation, sale and purchase agreements, and other applicable contracts.

As an undergraduate, Mr. Kapilian attended Boston University and received a Bachelor of Arts in 1986. He subsequently decided to pursue a legal education, and he remained in Boston and enrolled at Northeastern University School of Law. After he was awarded his Juris Doctor in 1993, Mr. Kapilian was an attorney at two well-known large law firms that were based in Boston. As is the case now, his practice then largely consisted of sophisticated real estate developments and financing transactions, and his projects included a convention center and a hotel that are located in the Boston Seaport District. Mr. Kapilian stays abreast of current developments in his practice area through his memberships in professional organizations.
