Top Construction Lawyers in ZIP 98164 | 10 available

My practice is focused on all aspects of real estate and business transactions.  I draft and negotiate commercial leases, ground leases, purchase and sale agreements, joint venture agreements, merger or redemption agreements, loan and financing documents, entity and formation documents, and corporate documents, as well as most other documents involved in a typical M&A transaction or real estate venture, project or transaction.  I also assist contractors, subcontractors, owners, developers and design professionals with negotiating construction contracts, design contracts and related agreements.

My extensive litigation practice experience gives me the tools necessary to not only handle a wide array of complex cases, but also provide my clients with the counsel they need to identify the issues they face, come up with an effective plan to resolve them, and successfully achieve the goals we set together.  Whether my clients elect to reach a beneficial negotiated resolution, or instead choose to litigate in order to win a favorable jury verdict, court ruling, or arbitration result, I combine my experience and determination with the significant resources of my firm to obtain the best possible outcome for my clients.
