My Expertise and Depth of Experience Makes A Difference

Business Transactions

As a former general counsel to several different public companies, Drew brings a unique perspective to representing his clients in business transactions. Many lawyers can “kill” a deal by over-lawyering the issues or getting bogged down with less significant issues. Drew does not.  He has extensive expertise representing clients  in a variety of business transactions and a excellent reputation for getting the deal done.

NNN Leases

NNN Leases

Drew specializes in representing landlord and tenants in their NNN triple net and commercial lease or sale transactions.  Purchase and sale agreements and leases can be complicated and brokers don’t always understand all of the implications of the language used in most lease and purchase agreement forms. Whether you are property owner doing your first 1031 exchange, a landlord leasing a property to a Fortune 500 tenant or a new business owner entering into your first commercial lease, Drew can advise you to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Negotiations

Drew’s clients come back to him again and again as they truly value and appreciate the depth of his experience and business sense. Drew has a long and robust track record of helping his clients find middle ground in difficult disputes and transactions, and often in situations where other lawyers have failed and litigation seemed the only option. 

What Makes Me Different

Accessibility

I focus on providing my clients with exceptional service. I pride myself on achieving great results for my clients and stay with them each step of the way.

Depth of Experience

Clients involved in real estate and business transactions need an experienced advocate who can hone in on the key issues which are truly important. I bring that level of experience and understanding to all of my clients’ matters.  

Ability to Handle Conflict

Not all people, or lawyers, can handle conflict. I can and that can really help where the other side is difficult or threatening. I have the ability to stand up and fight when that is what the situation warrants and do that for my clients when necessary.
