Lawrence Jensen has a unique perspective because he both negotiates and drafts business and real estate contracts, on the one hand, and also litigates business and real estate disputes, on the other. By doing both, he understands what the real issues are likely to be when drafting a contract and pays special attention to those issues. Practicing since 1987, he has a vast base of knowledge and experience he can draw upon to address issues that overlap, such as LLC ownership and management issues affecting LLC's that hold real estate assets. Or potential non-compliance with lease obligations as a result of entity ownership changes. After all, owning and managing investment property is a business, too! And businesses need advice with commercial leases as well as regarding corporate law compliance. Wouldn't you rather have someone negotiate your lease or purchase contract that has been in court enforcing them, too?
Admitted to practice in California on
December 11, 1987, California State Bar Number 132330. Established
solo-practice in 1994, after seven years of practice at two prominent
real estate and business oriented law firms. My practice emphasizes
representation of small and medium sized businesses, non-profits, and
fiduciaries, including start-ups, landlords, real estate brokers,
commercial tenants, trustees, contractors, and others in real estate
and business transactions and litigation. I especially enjoy forming
corporations and limited liability companies, and representing parties
to real estate or business purchase and sale agreements or parties to
leases. I have had a lot of experience in handling boundary and title
disputes, mechanic's liens, non-disclosure, broker-commission disputes,
and in contract and lease litigation matters.
