I have reviewed, revised, and drafted commercial and residential real property purchase agreements, conducted real property due diligence, drafted commercial and industrial leases and amendments, drafted opinion letters and related loan documents for commercial loans and supervised loan closings, prepared formation and dissolution documents for LLCs, corporations and partnerships. I have also drafted operating agreements, corporate merger documents, bylaws, resolutions and stock purchase agreements. In addition, I have prepared joint venture agreements, consulting agreements, and license agreements. I have assisted with permitting and zoning code violations and various land use issues and provided extensive legal research on real estate, business, corporate, and probate matters. Finally, I have assisted with probate administration cases, prepared probate petitions and assisted with trust administration. I have extensive knowledge of the Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, and have written multiple articles that were published in the San Diego County Bar Association weekly newsletter regarding the significant changes to the law in contrast to the prior Beverly Killea Limited Liability Company Act, and the effect these changes have on existing limited liability companies.
