ABOUT THE FIRM

Perspective Law Group is a full-service, boutique transactional real estate firm. Our practice focuses on all aspects of real estate and asset types. We are nimble and responsive, providing big firm experience, training and work product without big firm inefficiencies.

We counsel our clients from a principled perspective with a unique understanding of the business of real estate. Our founder has experience as a principal and executive with multinational real estate development, management and hospitality companies. This background allows our firm to understand our clients’ businesses and advise them on more than just legal issues. Our knowledge and experience allow us to better understand the issues that affect our clients as we view them from a distinct perspective. Additionally, our experience in the real estate space allows us to structure engagements in a more entrepreneurial manner than big law firms with our clients’ needs and business models in mind. Our clients appreciate our willingness to consider more enterprising fee arrangements such as fixed fees or structured deal participation in exchange for legal work. We staff all matters efficiently and constantly strive to exceed our clients’ expectations.

Expertise

We have closed and assisted in the closing of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of purchase and sale transactions across all asset classes including multi-family residential, office, industrial, hospitality, office, vacant land/development sites and ultra-luxury single-family residential properties. With experience both inside and outside California through our strategic relationships with local counsel and third-party service providers, we represent our clients in connection with the purchase and sale of real property across the country. 

We are abreast of market conditions and trends which allows us to quickly handle complex negotiations in a streamlined and efficient manner that our clients appreciate. Additionally, we help our clients accomplish their acquisition or disposition requirements through our years of experience as real estate investors, brokers and principals. We provide a creative and business-minded approach to complex legal issues facing our clients in the purchase and sale context.  Our goal is to help our clients achieve their desired result while making sure they are protected, without modifying the basic terms of the agreed-upon bargain.

Our depth and breadth of experience in connection with commercial and residential real estate development, both as counsel and on the principal side, allows us to assist our clients with their development needs from acquisition and entitlement to construction and ultimately disposition. We have long-standing relationships with land-use attorneys, expeditors and other stakeholders in the development industry that our clients are able to leverage for their development needs. We have assisted developers and businesses ancillary to development across all major asset classes, with primary focus on apartment, condominium, office, industrial and hotel development projects. Our strategic partnerships provide our clients with exemplary service and results.

Perspective Law Group offers comprehensive and effective legal services in connection with capital markets and debt transactions. We have represented borrowers and lenders on traditional and non-conventional transactions.  Whether financing real property, ground lease or more creative collateral financings, our attorneys are experienced in a variety of debt vehicles. We have assisted our clients in connection with residential, resorts, hotels, restaurants, night clubs, office, industrial and asset-based loans. Our background as both borrowers and licensed real estate and debt brokers provides our clients with a creative and business-minded approach to debt transactions

We represent both landlords and tenants in connection with commercial leasing and ancillary leasing work (e.g., SNDA’s, estoppels, abstracts, property management, operating expense audits, etc.) for all asset classes, with extensive experience preparing and negotiating office, industrial and retail leases. We deftly assist our clients through a leasing transaction from the letter of intent stage through lease negotiation and execution. With knowledge of market standard terms and provisions due to our extensive broker and client network, we avoid extended back and forth that typically plagues commercial lease negotiations. Our business and real estate brokerage background allow us to understand our clients’ businesses and needs to tailor our advice and negotiations to reach an agreement in the most efficient manner possible. We keep up to date on all statutory and market trends and work collaboratively with our clients to help guide them to make informed decisions on both business and legal issues related to commercial leasing.

Perspective Law Group has a depth of experience representing hotel owners, managers and developers in connection with hotels, restaurants, night clubs, vacation clubs, fractional use and condominium hotel projects. In addition to traditional real estate work in the hospitality space (e.g., acquisition, disposition, financing, management agreements and due diligence), we offer general counsel services to our clients in the hospitality business. Our clients appreciate this service, which includes review of vendor contracts, insurance related questions, basic employment advice, permitting, licensing, equipment leasing, agreements with online travel agencies (OTAs), group business and catering contracts. We have an exceptional understanding of the hospitality business and leverage that experience to help our clients navigate the unique and challenging issues that affect their hospitality-related businesses.

Our attorneys provide capabilities for sponsors, limited partners and equity providers with respect to many types of real estate joint-venture transactions. We have relevant experience with formation of joint-venture vehicles.  Our attorneys assist our clients in connection with the preparation of offering and private placement memoranda, joint-venture agreements as well as shareholder nominee agreements.  Our experience on the principal side of many multi-family joint-venture transactions provides us with a unique perspective when structuring joint-venture transactions for our clients.

We represent solar and wind developers in connection with providing advice and assistance in gaining site control in many jurisdictions through various forms of agreement (e.g., licenses, dual-phase leases, ground leases, options to lease, options to purchase and purchase agreements). We assist our renewable energy clients in preparing and negotiating site control documentation, due diligence work and various aspects of project finance. Through years of representing top-tier renewable energy clients, we have developed a unique understanding of this area of practice that creates value and provides results for our clients.
