Case History
Purchase of Office Condominium
Practice Area: Real Estate
Description: A government contractor near the end of their lease term was looking to lease additional space in their building and had obtained a lease proposal from their landlord. The client wanted me to review the lease proposal and review and negotiate the subsequent lease agreement.
Outcome: Based upon changes in the market, the lease proposal was above market rates. I identified two nearby office condominium buildings which had available space and was able to assist my client in moving to an office which they now own. My client was able to purchase the space for less than 10% down with an SBA 504 loan and is saving nearly $500 per month between the mortgage payment and the rent.
Stop Competitor from Stealing Business
Practice Area: Technology Law
Description: A client with a high-end autobody shop created a customized package of service offerings and logos to its clients and wanted to protect these services.
Outcome: We filed an application with the US Patent & Trademark Office to not only register the service marks, but also the logos. After the service mark was registered, we sent a cease & desist order to a competitor that was using the same package names and a substantially similar logo. After several discussions with the competitor's attorney, they finally agreed to stop using the package names and change their logo.
Sale of Restaurant Business
Practice Area: Business
Description: A client that owned a long-standing neighborhood restaurant was retiring and wanted to sell the restaurant. In order to make it easier to sell, the seller agreed to provide seller-take back financing to the buyer. The seller needed assistance with the stock purchase agreement and securing the seller take back financing.
Outcome: I had concerns about the prospective buyer's lack of restaurant experience so not only prepared a promissory note, personal guaranty, security agreement, but also a stock pledge agreement and filed a UCC financing statement. About 6 months later, the buyer defaulted on the seller take-back financing and we had to take the restaurant back. My client resumed operations for about a year and then resold it again without the need to provide any take-back financing.
