Finding the right location and negotiating with a commercial landlord is frequently among the biggest hurdles facing many new businesses. Commercial leases can oftentimes be fifty pages or longer, containing unfamiliar clauses and terms which frequently mask hidden fees and costs for the lessor. Our firm has experience negotiating commercial leases, and we enjoy working with our business clients to obtain a lease agreement that protects their interests while securing the site they need for their business to thrive.

In addition to drafting and negotiating commercial leases, we also have experience preparing residential leases. California law requires mandatory disclosures and disclaimers in residential leases that, if omitted, can cause landlords to face significant difficulties in evicting problematic tenants or recovering unpaid rent and costs. If you are a homeowner who is considering a short-term or long-term rental, we invite you to contact us so we can explain how we can help prepare a lease that protects you.
