Secured Loans

Real Property Secured Transactions in California require special expertise, and we have it.  We represent California lenders and real property sellers and borrowers  in structuring and analyzing loans secured by deeds of trust on real property.  We are experienced in handling all aspects of the transaction, from negotiations to documentation, due diligence and closing.  We understand the impact of the complex anti-deficiency laws as it relates to each loan and to the various parties, including lenders, borrowers and guarantors.  We often counsel clients seeking analysis of an existing loan and related advice.

Purchase/Sale

We are experienced handling commercial real property sale transactions for both sellers and buyers. We handle all aspects of the transaction, from negotiations to documentation, due diligence and closing.  We understand the issues that arise in many transactions and counsel our clients from the beginning so that there are no surprises.  We attempt to facilitate the closing of the transaction without compromising our client’s interests, and understand the  tone and tempo of the transaction.

Commercial Leasing

We represent both commercial landlords and commercial tenants in commercial lease transactions.  We are experienced in handling all aspects of the transaction, from negotiations to documentation, due diligence and closing.  The types of commercial leases we have negotiated include office, retail, and   industrial and multi-tenant uses.

Tax Deferred Exchanges

We represent both buyers and sellers in tax deferred exchange transactions, and counsel our clients to meet the safe harbor requirements of these transactions.  Careful planning to meet the strict deadlines and requirements is a must for a successful tax deferred exchange transaction.

Co-Ownership Agreements

Often times two or more parties share an interest in real property without a thoughtful, well drafted document to describe the rights and duties of the parties, the succession of ownership in the event of death or divorce, or the like. Many times this is a recipe for disaster when unintended consequences occur.  We are experienced structuring co- ownership agreements, LLC’s, partnership agreements and the like for the purpose of holding fractional interests in real property.
