Real Estate
Real
estate
creates and destroys many fortunes. You have to look no
further than the last REIT boom and compare the divergent
results achieved by Starwood Hospitality and Patriot
American Hospitality. With careful analysis and planning,
there are few more certain paths to wealth than simple,
ongoing real estate investing. However, without
foresight, it is also one of the surest paths to illiquidity,
negative cash flow, increased risk and financial trouble.
Real
estate requires a special set of skills because even
one asset can have a multitude of issues (legal, valuation,
ownership, management, financing, tax). Each one could
be critical to your ultimate success or failure with that
asset.
Our
real estate advisory practice caters to all segments
of the market and we deliver a full range of legal services
covering Hotels, Resorts, Timeshare, Multi-family,
Residential and Commercial, Acquisitions; Financings;

Our
real estate practice serves three type of clients:
Large
Real Estate Companies. While a tax professional at
Arthur Andersen, Chris
Adishian served clients that owned large industrial
real estate portfolios, management structures and
complex real estate holding structures, domestically
and cross border. As an investment banker, he gained "domain
expertise" in the US and Canadian hospitality
markets, covering REITS, hotel owners and operators,
management companies, timeshares, golf and cruise lines
as well as technology and software companies serving the
hospitality and real estate industries. We are
able to provide legal, financing and tax advisory services
to owners in a uniquely efficient manner.
Professional
Investors. In this segment, our typical client already
has a successful business or businesses, and wants to
place their capital into "hard assets" for a
variety of reasons such as diversification, cash flow,
capital appreciation or tax benefits.
Individual
Buyers and Sellers. Our typical client here is a Buyer
or Seller of a property who requires legal assistance
to close or invalidate a transaction. In California, every
residential real estate contract REQUIRES mediation
before the parties commence litigation. Arbitration
is optional, but mediation is mandatory. While
we can often resolve dispute short of mediation or litigation,
we do offer full representation throughout mediation,
arbitration and litigation.
