Commercial Real Estate Lawyer
Leasing, buying, or selling commercial property? We review the leases, draft the contracts, and run the diligence, so the deal protects your business, not just the other side. Free consultation.
Free consultation. No obligation.
Lease and purchase agreements
RAM Law and Title, PLLC drafts and negotiates LOIs, leases, and purchase agreements with business realities in mind: CAM and pass-throughs, renewal options, assignment/sublet rights, build-out timelines, personal guaranties, and purchase contingencies. For broader deal strategy, we align your documents with real estate law considerations that can impact future growth or exit plans.
The lawyer drafting your lease is a litigator who has tried commercial disputes. That is the point. I write the agreement to win the fight it might one day cause, because I am the one who would try it.
Due diligence that protects your investment
We coordinate title examination, surveys, environmental and zoning checks, estoppels, SNDAs, and insurance requirements. I handle escrow and lender conditions while you focus on operations; if issues arise, I loop in title services for curative work and policy endorsements.
Entity and financing coordination
Whether you buy through an LLC or corporation, we prepare authority resolutions, review loan documents and guaranties, and align closing deliverables with your lender’s checklist. We can coordinate with your CPA on structure and tax considerations.
The local approvals that delay commercial deals
Understanding local permitting, signage, parking ratios, and use restrictions, from Coral Gables to municipalities across South Florida, helps avoid costly delays. I anticipate local processes so your opening date stays realistic.
Preventing disputes down the road
Clear lease language and practical timelines reduce conflict. If a problem does surface, like build-out delays, default claims, or delivery issues, I am ready to enforce your rights or defend your position in Miami-Dade courts.
Common questions
Why hire a commercial real estate attorney for a lease or purchase?
We negotiate the CAM charges, build-out terms, personal guaranties, assignment and sublease rights, and remedies, which reduces your risk as a tenant or buyer and aligns the deal with your business plan.
What should I look for in a commercial lease in Coral Gables?
Renewal options, rent escalations, operating expenses, exclusivity, use clauses, maintenance and repairs, casualty and condemnation, and early-termination rights. We tailor the clauses to your use and budget.
How do you manage due diligence for a building purchase?
We coordinate title and survey, zoning and code compliance, environmental review, tenant estoppels and SNDAs, and the loan documents, so the workup is complete before you waive contingencies.
Do I need an entity or guaranty for a commercial deal?
Often, yes. We structure acquisitions through an LLC or corporation and negotiate limited or “good-guy” guaranties to balance the lender’s demands with your protection as an owner.
Can you review lender documents and negotiate terms?
Yes. We examine the covenants, DSCR tests, prepayment penalties, carve-outs, and remedies, and negotiate changes that match your cash flow and exit plans.
