We design custom estate plans to protect your family dynamics and financial priorities while protecting your legacy. Our estate team represents fiduciaries, such as trustees, successor trustees, and personal representatives as well as beneficiaries and heirs. Our firm is equipped to challenge wills and trusts and to defend executors against contests to estate instruments on the grounds of undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, fraud, or lack of compliance with proper will formalities. We aid trustees to avoid the pitfalls of trust administration and to defend against claims for breach of fiduciary duty, failure to report or account to beneficiaries, violation of prudent investor acts, theft, trustee removal actions, and related conflicts involved in complex family and business structures. We relish in protecting family and business assets and your legacies.
Our team has extensive experience in real estate, both on the transaction side as well as in court. We assist developers, builders, general contractors, subcontractors, homeowner associations, and private property owners with purchase and sale agreements, commercial leases, easements, property management contracts, and construction documents. The firm handles real estate administrative and litigation matters, including construction defects, land use and entitlement issues, zoning, boundary and easement disputes, agent and brokerage issues, construction liens, workouts, and purchase and sale agreement disputes.
Our firm has invaluable experience in the countless legal questions companies face daily. Non-competition, non-solicitation, trade secrets, and confidentiality clauses in contracts are often what employees and employers dispute during employment transitions. We advise corporations on employment and vendor contracts, and defend businesses facing claims of discrimination, wrongful termination, and defamation, and professional negligence. We represent international, national, and local businesses and franchises in ownership and partnership disputes, trade secret misappropriation, trademark and trade dress infringement, and breaches of contract and franchise agreements.
