Overview

What We Do

リアルエステート

Real estate transactions handled by an attorney who's also a licensed broker. Legal and deal execution in one conversation. Turns out understanding both sides is useful.

Acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, SPE structuring, mortgage workouts. Residential, commercial, investment. Contract to keys — or contract to walk, depending on what diligence turns up.

Recent Highlights

Structured real estate SPEs holding $3M+ in assets — custom operating agreements, intercompany ground leases, and investor-ready documentation.

Negotiated mortgage workouts saving clients $100K+ in debt service — terms restructured, payoffs accelerated.

Closed residential and commercial transactions across $10M+ in deal value — as both legal counsel and licensed broker.

Capabilities

What We Handle

Purchase & Sale

LOI through closing — residential, commercial, investment. Contract drafting, negotiation, contingency management. Both sides of the table understood.

Commercial Leasing

Office, retail, industrial. Lease negotiation, tenant improvements, renewal terms, early termination rights. Landlord-favorable paper made less so.

Investment Structures

SPEs, syndications, JV agreements, intercompany ground leases. Investor-ready documentation for single assets or portfolios.

Due Diligence

Title review, survey analysis, lien searches, estoppels. Problems found before closing, not after.

Landlord-Tenant Compliance

California landlord-tenant law, rent control ordinances, eviction procedures, habitability requirements. Regulatory minefields navigated properly.

Real Estate Finance

Traditional mortgages, private money lending, syndicated investments, mortgage workouts. Acquisition capital structured, distressed debt renegotiated.
