Of Counsel
  • 864-552-4653

Daniel Callahan focuses his practice on real estate transactional matters with a particular emphasis on representing commercial clients. Daniel has represented buyers, sellers, lenders, developers, investors, and business owners across all property types and throughout South Carolina. His practice spans the full arc of a real estate transaction, from purchase agreements and entity formation through closing and extends to commercial lease review, the purchase and sale of businesses, and related corporate matters. Daniel considers himself fortunate to practice in an area where, as long as he does his job right, the people on both sides of the table leave happy.

Daniel's transactional experience is broad. He has represented developers in land acquisition, lot takedowns, and subsequent sales, and has handled multimillion-dollar transactions from contract through closing in multi-family parcels and other similar asset classes. Daniel regularly handles complex title curative matters that can threaten or delay a transaction. He has drafted and reviewed condominium and HOA documents, negotiated commercial leases, and assisted clients with entity formation and the purchase and sale of businesses along with real property. Clients return to Daniel because he combines attention to detail with a responsiveness and approachability that is rare in high-volume transactional practice.

Before joining Turner Padget, Daniel operated his own boutique real estate firm for many years giving him firsthand experience running a practice and a ground-level understanding of what clients and counterparties need to get deals done. He went to law school at the University of South Carolina School of Law, where he served as an Articles Editor for the ABA Real Property, Probate and Trust Journal. Daniel has been recognized by the Upstate Business Journal as a Legal Elite in both Residential and Commercial Real Estate. A local improv comedy performer, Daniel brings to every transaction the same discipline that anchors the art form: listen carefully, stay adaptable, and look for a way to get to yes.
