Biography

Kyle Kirby is a transactional real estate attorney who represents both commercial and residential clients in everything from contract negotiation and financing to closings and post-closing matters. Having worked on both the buyer and seller sides of transactions, he brings a well-rounded perspective to every deal. 

Kyle’s practice includes sophisticated commercial real estate transactions for institutional property owners, investors, developers, and REITs, with frequent involvement in multi-million dollar deals involving commercial, industrial, mixed-use, office, and large-scale residential developments. He also handles easements, rights of way, leases, planning and zoning matters, and dispute resolution. 

Solar energy development is a growing part of Kyle’s practice. He guides large-scale solar projects through pre-acquisition, contracting, site control, underwriting, and closings for both landowners and developers. 

Kyle co-authored and edited the 2024 edition of the Maryland State Bar Association’s Residential Real Estate Transactions Handbook chapter on Pre-closing Problems.
