The Process of Advisory Services for Property Owners and Managers
Advisory work begins with understanding how a property operates: leases, contracts, and the regulatory environment. Our attorneys review existing documentation to identify both risks and opportunities for improvement.
We then provide ongoing counsel to owners and managers, addressing tenant issues, lease enforcement, vendor coordination, and compliance updates as they arise. The goal is continuous protection: keeping operations efficient, compliant, and legally sound.
Legal expertise in California property management
Our attorneys are experienced in every facet of property management law, including lease enforcement, CAM disputes, estoppel certificates, SNDA agreements, and vendor contracts. We understand how California statutes and case law affect property operations and draft documents that hold up under scrutiny from both tenants and courts.
As both commercial landlord–tenant counsel and property management advisors, we offer balanced guidance that protects ownership interests without sacrificing day-to-day functionality.
Guiding property owners and managers
We stay engaged throughout the life of a property, not just when disputes arise. Our attorneys provide real-time legal support during tenant issues, operational adjustments, and major management decisions.
We work closely with brokers, accountants, and asset managers to ensure that business and legal strategies remain aligned. This hands-on approach allows owners and managers to make confident, informed decisions that preserve revenue, reduce liability, and protect long-term asset value.
How advisory services work in practice
For property owners, we secure strong contractual protections and ensure reporting obligations are clear and enforceable. For managers, we provide tools to handle tenant disputes, negotiate renewals, and resolve operational issues before they escalate.
Our process includes:
- Lease enforcement and tenant disputes – addressing defaults, renewals, and terminations efficiently.
- Vendor and service contracts – drafting and reviewing agreements with maintenance, construction, and operations providers.
- Regulatory compliance – ensuring ongoing adherence to ADA, disclosure, and local ordinance requirements.
- CAM and operating expenses – resolving disputes over reconciliations, pass-throughs, and allocations.
By integrating property management law with commercial real estate expertise, we deliver advisory services that are both practical and enforceable. Our clients gain clarity, stability, and confidence in every aspect of their property operations.

Common Questions
1. Why should property owners and managers use a property management lawyer?
Property owners and managers face daily decisions that carry legal consequences. A property management lawyer ensures that leases, contracts, and compliance obligations are met, reducing liability and preventing disputes. With ongoing counsel, owners and managers can focus on operations while legal risks are managed proactively.
2. How do attorneys assist with CAM and operating expense disputes?
Common area maintenance (CAM) disputes often arise when tenants challenge allocations or reconciliations. Our attorneys review lease provisions, calculate obligations, and enforce collection where necessary. We also draft lease language that prevents ambiguity, reducing the likelihood of future disputes.
3. What role do attorneys play in vendor and service contracts for property managers?
Service contracts with maintenance providers, security companies, and contractors can expose owners to liability if poorly drafted. Our attorneys prepare agreements that clearly define scope, liability, and termination rights. This ensures vendors meet their obligations and owners are protected from unexpected claims.
