From start to finish, it is our goal to make your deal run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

A business contract or agreement needs to accurately reflect your intended business transaction. While this principle seems obvious, many business contracts fail to achieve this, resulting in expensive and prolonged litigation. This can distract business owners from the day-to-day required to successfully run and grow their business. We will take the time necessary to learn and understand your business goals, and then we will draft the contracts or agreements to help you meet your goals and avoid unnecessary litigation.

Whether you need a skilled attorney to draft a demand letter or negotiate a dispute, we are here to help. Our experienced legal team will offer you a wide range of alternatives to resolve your dispute in an expedient and professional manner.

Buying and selling commercial property requires skilled negotiations and carefully crafted earnest money/purchase and sale agreements. Our attorneys can help you negotiate favorable sale terms and memorialize your transaction in writing. We will work with escrow to ensure your transaction runs smoothly and your short and long-term interests are protected.

Whether a landlord or a tenant, commercial lease agreements need to be carefully drafted and reviewed prior to signing to ensure your legal rights are protected. The trick with commercial leases is that many times what is not included in the lease may be as important as what is included in the lease. Having your commercial lease reviewed may save you hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars throughout the term of the lease.
