I graduated from the University of Arizona with a B.S. in Regional Development, and received my law degree from Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California. My practice spans the entire spectrum of transactional real estate, with a primary focus on commercial real estate acquisitions and dispositions, financing, development and leasing. My real property acquisitions and dispositions practice includes complex purchase, sale and 1031 exchange transactions in connection with commercial properties located throughout the United States, and my commercial leasing practice includes the representation of both landlords and tenants in the leasing of office, industrial, retail and mixed-use space throughout California. I have also extensively represented both developers and investors in the structuring and formation of complex joint ventures (using LLC’s, partnerships, and TIC structures) as well as the negotiation and preparation of development agreements, construction and architectural services contracts, CC&Rs, easements, and management agreements.
