Commercial Real Estate

We provide counsel on all aspects of commercial real estate transactions throughout the state of California.  Our comprehensive real estate practice includes all phases of commercial real estate: acquisition, investment, development, finance, use, restructuring, lease representation, workouts and disposition.

To defend yourself from liabilities in the future, consultation with a detail-oriented commercial real estate attorney is advisable, especially for the acquisition and disposition commercial real property.  Commercial real estate brokers and agents play a key role in marketing property; however, it is usually more judicious to consult a commercial real estate attorney to draft purchase/sale contracts, draft commercial loan documents, review title, and/or close escrow.  Most of the time, our review of a transaction will save you more money than your legal fee.

Practicing commercial real estate law requires a commitment to vigilant protection of client interests, and we pride ourselves on our exceptional ability to discover the most inconspicuous area of concern.  We assist clients looking to create new opportunities, including commercial real estate: investors, owners, sponsors, developers, builders, contractors, architects, and designers.  Other clientele includes commercial real estate: agents, brokers, principals, property management companies, homeowners’ associations, institutional lenders, banks, private money lenders, and loan brokers.  We can help you in the complete range of commercial real estate matters, including:
