We advise our clients in a wide range of commercial real estate transactions, including: Purchase and Sale Transactions LOIs / Term Sheets Commercial and Residential Real Estate Closings Commercial Lease Review and Negotiation Contract Interpretations Due Diligence Attorney Opinion Letters Easements and Title Encumbrances Finance Loan Terms 1031 Exchanges Title Conveyance and Quitclaim Deeds Title Insurance Property Management Ground Leases Landlord Tenant Liens and Liabilities Land Use/Zoning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623095341298-HBPQ9Z0CTQWDDPOF00C7/206e48eb15aab564105d353222f3defe.jpg Real Estate Law Your attorney will then prepare a contract which memorializes your terms, and will negotiate any further changes. The final terms will include various deadlines that must be timely met, including opportunities to inspect the property, make repairs, obtain financing, etc. During the due diligence period, your attorney will also obtain and review title reports from the title company involved in the transaction. Reviewing title is one of the most important parts of your lawyer's role in the transaction. The title report will usually give the parties a comprehensive list of matters which must be taken care of before closing. For instance, if there is an old lien on the property, the lien will have to be removed or insured over. Title reports will also give the buyer a fair warning of other potential issues that may affect the use or merchantability of the property. Depending on your specific needs, your attorney can also assist with the review and negotiation of any finance documents, including deeds of trust/mortgages, loan assumptions, seller carry-back loans, etc. and can assist with setting up a 1031 tax-deferred exchange with a qualified intermediary. Finally, at closing your attorney will guide you through the paperwork that needs to be completed to finalize the deal, including any property, lender, title, escrow, 1031 exchange or other state-specific mandated documents. Typically, the seller's side will have very little paperwork to review while the buyer's side will have to go through an entire loan packet if they are financing their purchase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623455274363-75TWUFN8LJHP7UCPIAKA/pexels-photo-259950+%281%29.jpeg Real Estate Law - Custom Solutions to HELP Realize Your Real Estate Goals.

Whether you are a private investor or a small or large business owner, entering into a real estate transaction is often one of largest and most complex legal transactions you will face while running your business. A skilled real estate lawyer can guide you to clear and concise answers and ensure that you understand your rights and responsibilities throughout the transaction. Our firm works on commercial real estate matters with owners, developers, property managers, homeowners and commercial landlords and tenants. In the earliest stages of every real estate transaction, the appropriate terms and contractual obligations should be clearly defined so as to minimize the risk of future disputes. Depending on the type of transaction involved, the lawyer’s role in a real estate matter often starts even before the parties have even entered into a contract. Care should be taken to clarify deal terms and respective expectations as early as the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) stage, which involves the negotiation of contingencies, due diligence, earnest money, closing and other important terms to be included in your purchase agreement. https://www.abgharilaw.com/referrals daily 0.75 2022-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623105998159-CEWG4OKI5AUU577HMXAB/unsplash-image-zeH-ljawHtg.jpg Referrals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623105733798-SZV2J10WIX6RW0HO02NI/unsplash-image-OXGhu60NwxU.jpg Referrals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623105768064-D4TLBOXITCE3IPFWMLZA/unsplash-image-1YeQl23dvJI.jpg Referrals https://www.abgharilaw.com/construction daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623454868037-LQZJCXYUFXPO72MGLUUX/josh-olalde-X1P1_EDNnok-unsplash.jpg Construction Law - Construction Transactions. Most brick and mortar businesses are likely to be involved in a construction project during the course of their operations. Expansions, remodeling, reconfigurations and systems upgrades all require contracting for construction services. Such projects can be subject to delays, cost overruns and unnecessary risk if not properly coordinated from the beginning. A well-written construction contract can make the difference between a successful partnership with your contractor and a partnership troubled by disagreements. Before you agree to the terms of a contract, consult the legal advice of an experienced construction attorney. Abghari Law has the experience to guide you through the procurement and construction process with an aim toward simplifying the process and minimizing your risks. We understand the key risk variables that shape construction contracts and can assist you in crafting solutions which bridge such risks.

Most of the time, it doesn’t make much sense for a start-up or a small business to have a full time attorney on staff. An attorney can be expensive, and most smaller businesses don’t have enough legal work to keep a lawyer busy full-time. To save on costs, some business owners approach legal matters with a DIY approach. However, tackling legal matters without an attorney can be more costly in the long-term. While it might seem simple to sign a contact or fill out a boilerplate business or IRS form, these actions could expose the company to unwanted risk or liability. Most startups and growing companies recognize the need to have lawyers represent them in contract review, drafting and negotiation, and to provide legal counsel generally. Independent general counsel services offer a cost-effective option that many companies find attractive. Independent General Counsel, also known as an “outsourced” or part time general counsel, is a private practitioner who performs general counsel services for one or a number of companies on an independent contractor basis, and not as an employee or law firm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623455906941-V5M46N9RYGVD8W42TRIR/pexels-pixabay-159839.jpg Independent General Counsel - YOUR CONCIERGE GENERAL COUNSEL.

This service is designed to provide our business clients with the expertise, on-call availability and confidentiality of your own in-house counsel without the high cost overhead of a salary, benefits and office space. It is specifically designed for medium-sized businesses with an increasing need for legal services such as general legal advice, specific legal analysis, government filings, and litigation liability review and mitigation, but not a full-time, salaried in-house attorney. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60821a03d9783106731069a5/1623454528034-3VAFBG71IEAR8LX0UADI/pexels-frans-van-heerden-633269.jpg Independent General Counsel - Abghari Law offers the legal services listed below as part of our Independent General Counsel Services: On-call Availability for Legal Questions Confidential Management of Urgent Legal Issues Contract Drafting, Review & Negotiation Outside Counsel Management Real Estate Transactions Confidentiality Agreements Opinion Letters Litigation Guidance and Document Review Risk Evaluation/Mitigation Customer/Tenant Complaints Commercial/Vendor Disputes Demand Letters and Responses Cease and Desist Memoranda of Understanding, Letters of Intent, Joint Venture and Partnership Agreements Government Compliance Filings Entity Modifications and Restructures Due Diligence Regulatory Compliance State & Municipal Licensing & Permitting Employee Agreements Independent Contractor Agreements https://www.abgharilaw.com/cookies daily 0.75 2023-03-03 https://www.abgharilaw.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10
