Glenn T. Sherman has been involved in transactions throughout the United States, including Arizona, California, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Although he handles all aspects of a commercial real estate practice, Mr. Sherman has extensive experience in construction and development, purchases and sales and leasing. The various construction contracts which he has prepared and/or negotiated in the recent past has varied based upon the size of the project and the scope of the work, including (i) demolition of existing buildings and ground-up construction, both in free-standing properties as well as within an operating shopping center; (ii) remodeling and expansion of existing buildings; (iii) leasehold improvements within existing buildings; (iv) small projects (such as construction and installation of fountains and other common area upgrades and improvements).. The forms of construction contracts include:. The contracts have been primarily based on a fixed fee price structure, but we have also done cost-plus with a guaranteed maximum.  The AIA forms have been substantially revised from the standard form and include an addendum supplementing the AIA forms.  Because contractors are oftentimes more comfortable using the standardized AIA forms, even though they are significantly revised, we have generally opted to use those forms.  However, on smaller projects, those forms can be unwieldy, and a simpler manuscript form has been desired by some of our clients.  These construction projects invariably require due diligence to determine whether there are restrictions that would affect the project, such as those contained in CC&R’s, Leases, etc. (e.g., dark periods for alterations, listing adjacent owners as additional insureds, location of staging areas, where construction vehicles may be parked, where construction materials and equipment may be stored, etc.). In addition to the preparation of the construction contract, we also provide advice with respect to the process for paying contractors, subcontractors and materials suppliers, including coordination with lender construction disbursement protocols, lien waivers and releases, joint checks and the like.  When mechanic’s liens are filed, we deal with getting them released of record, whether by dealing directly with the lien claimant or the general contractor, bonding around such claims, negotiating settlement agreements and mechanic’s liens releases, etc. Our involvement in these projects also includes reviewing vendor contracts, revising terms and conditions that limit vendor liability (for example, the typical limitation of liability to the amount the vendor was paid), dealing with insurance coverages (including appropriate completed operations coverages available for owners and other additional insureds), liquidated damages for late completion, and a myriad of other customary protections on behalf of owners.. Mr. Sherman counsels clients in the purchase and sale of office buildings, shopping centers, industrial properties and apartment buildings. In addition, he handles various residential agreements and sales as well.  As to leasing, Mr. Sherman handles everything from big box retailers to small mom & pop spaces.  He creates standard form leases for use in various projects. By representing both landlords and tenants, he has a realistic understanding of the needs of each side of the transaction and uses that to resolve sticking points during a negotiation in a way that both parties can accept.

Ohn and his co-counsel were appointed as Class Counsel in a consumer class action on behalf of over 80,000 consumers across the United States of America and obtained final approval of a national class settlement with a total economic value of over $2 Million and injunctive relief.  In this regard, the California Superior Court Judge presiding over this complex class action litigation noted that Mr. Ohn displayed a high level of skill in presenting complicated and difficult legal issues and that his efforts in this action and the results obtained provided great value in the public interest.. When a union member's medical records were mailed, during a union election campaign, to thousands of his coworkers by a union employee in violation of his civil rights, including under the Americans With Disabilities Act, he turned to Mr. Ohn to seek justice on his behalf. Utilizing cutting edge, aggressive and efficient litigation strategies for the union member plaintiff, Mr. Ohn defeated the union employee defendant's Anti-SLAPP motion after obtaining leave of Court to take her deposition, obtain documents and subpoena third party records; exhausted the union member's administrative remedies on his claims against the defendant union entities; and ultimately obtained a tremendous settlement at a very early stage of litigation for the union member plaintiff that included a substantial monetary recovery and injunctive relief. Trials Digest called this a "notable" settlement and featured it on the cover of the June 25, 2012 issue.. When a wheelchair bound individual applied in person to rent an apartment in Los Angeles, the apartment manager repeatedly informed him that he did not meet the financial requirements to be able to rent an apartment there. Then, after the disabled individual would submit documentation indicating that he met the qualifications reflected in the rental application and the apartment’s written policies, the apartment manager would change the qualifications or add new requirements in a blatant effort to prevent the handicapped individual from renting an apartment. The disabled plaintiff came to Mr. Ohn to fight for his rights. Mr. Ohn filed a housing discrimination lawsuit for violation of the federal Fair Housing Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Unruh Civil Rights Act, and the Disabled Persons Act. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Ohn obtained a strong settlement on behalf of the handicapped plaintiff that included a monetary recovery and an agreement that the property owner and apartment management company defendants would change their policies and procedures and provide training to their employees regarding applicable housing discrimination and disability rights laws.. A California based company and its officers were sued by a former business partner and officer seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensatory damages for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and violation of California's Unfair Competition law. With the trial in this California civil action scheduled to begin in less than two months, the company and its officer retained Mr. Ohn as trial counsel. Using aggressive and effective motion and deposition practice, Mr. Ohn obtained a highly favorable settlement for its clients of essentially one thousand dollars on the eve of trial.. When a California corporation and its Chief Executive Officer were sued by a much larger competitor under, among other things, California's unfair competition laws seeking monetary compensation, injunctive relief and punitive damages, they turned to Mr. Ohn. After taking just one deposition and utilizing aggressive and effective motion practice in this California civil action, the Law Offices of Gerald S. Ohn successfully obtained complete summary judgment in favor of its clients.
