Real Estate Transactions

Before you sign a Lease for your tenant business or organization, it should be reviewed by an experienced attorney to identify and resolve potential pitfalls or loopholes that could cause issues if left unaddressed. We provide legal counsel and support in the following areas:

• Commercial Lease drafting and review: Represent both landlords and tenants in commercial lease negotiations. Explain lease provisions in a high-level or granular fashion depending on savvy and experience of the client; evaluate provisions in light of client goals and provide guidance, draft counterlanguage, negotiate on behalf of client.
• Residential Lease drafting and review: Represent both landlords and tenants in residentila lease negotiations. Explain lease provisions in a high-level or granular fashion depending on savvy and experience of the client; evaluate provisions in light of client goals and provide guidance, draft counterlanguage, negotiate on behalf of client.
• Real Property purchases and sales: Represent buyers of California real property who have an opportunity and desire to purchase off-market or without an agent (e.g., longtime tenants buying from their landlord, sale by family member). Assist sellers with drafting non-standard disclosure language that satisfies state and local disclosure rules.
• Title transfer documentation and execution: Assist titleholders of property with deed drafting and executing and recording title transfers, in conjunction with the asset protection and estate-planning goals they may have.
