Real estate transactions frequently involve substantial financial commitments and long-term obligations. Whether purchasing property, selling property, negotiating a lease, or opening a new business location, careful legal planning at the beginning can prevent significant problems later.
We assist individuals, investors, landlords, tenants, and businesses with real estate transactions and negotiations.
Buying & Selling Real Property
We assist buyers and sellers with the legal aspects of purchasing and selling real estate, including contract negotiations, due diligence, closing issues, title matters, and resolving issues that arise between contract signing and closing.
Commercial Leases
A commercial lease can affect a business for years. We assist landlords and tenants in negotiating and reviewing commercial leases, including rent, renewal rights, assignment and subletting, operating expenses, insurance, maintenance obligations, defaults, security deposits, personal guarantees, and termination provisions.
Negotiating Business Locations
Finding the right location is often one of the most important decisions a new or expanding business makes. We help business owners evaluate and negotiate the legal terms necessary to establish a new location.
Starting a Business in a New Location
Opening a business involves more than signing a lease. We can help coordinate the legal steps involved in establishing the business, selecting an appropriate corporate structure, negotiating the location, and addressing the legal issues necessary to get the business operating.
Our Approach
The objective is to identify potential problems before they become expensive problems. We work with clients to understand the transaction, negotiate favorable terms, and move the matter toward a successful closing or opening.
