Valerie Li Law delivers responsive and cost-effective legal representation in a wide variety of residential and commercial real estate transactions, ensuring that your interests are protected at every stage.
Purchases and Sales
Commercial and residential real estate transactions in Los Angeles often involve complex negotiations and sophisticated form contracts, such as those by the by the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) or AIR Commercial Real Estate Association (AIR CRE). However, the critical aspects for future liability often lie within the nuances of addenda and other non-standard items, including amendments, disclosures, leases, covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), and reciprocal easement agreements.
Valerie Li Law provides in-depth analysis of all transactional documents, meticulously drafting and negotiating language that strategically minimizes your risk exposure and aligns with your objectives.
Leases for Landlords and Tenants
Commercial leases frequently include intricate agreements concerning reciprocal easement agreements, covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), insurance and indemnification requirements, common area maintenance charges, and tenant improvement allowances. The legal terms of these agreements demand careful analysis and skillful negotiation to ensure your business interests are robustly protected and future liabilities are minimized.
Whether you are a commercial landlord seeking to protect your property’s value and income stream or a tenant aiming to secure favorable lease terms that support your business operations, Valerie Li Law provides the experienced counsel you need to identify and mitigate potential legal risks. Our practical and proactive approach to lease negotiations aims to secure your financial interests and prevent costly disputes down the line.
Co-Ownership and Partition Agreements
Title and deed issues frequently lead to disputes among family members and business partners. For owners holding property jointly, such as joint tenants or tenants in common, a co-ownership or partition agreement is crucial for safeguarding their interests. These agreements clearly define the parties’ respective rights and obligations, helping to avoid protracted litigation in the event of disagreements. For example, a co-ownership agreement can specify how rents are distributed and define responsibilities for mortgage repayment, maintenance, and repair. It can also determine the handling of the property in cases of death, bankruptcy, business dissolution, or partner separation.
Valerie Li Law proactively assists property owners in preparing deeds and co-ownership and partition agreements, addressing potential title and co-ownership issues before they escalate into costly problems. Our focus is on preventing future disputes and protecting your long-term investment.
Licenses and Easements
Valerie Li Law also assists residential and commercial real estate clients with various types of licenses and easement agreements. These agreements define the rights and obligations related to real property and are as critical as deeds when an owner seeks to lease, sell, mortgage, or improve the property.
We help property owners draft clear and effective license and easement agreements that protect and enhance their property rights, ensuring long-term security and minimizing potential liabilities.
