Phocus L.
G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.

Commercial Real Estate
Building Lease
Arizona
Can a landlord increase the rent on a commercial building lease without providing notice or justification?
I have been leasing a commercial building for my business for the past three years, and recently, my landlord informed me of a significant increase in the monthly rent. However, there was no prior notice or explanation given for this sudden increase, and I am concerned about the legality of such action. I want to know if the landlord has the right to raise the rent without providing any notice or justification, and what options I have to address this issue if it is indeed unfair or unlawful.
David U.
In a vacuum, a landlord should not have a unilateral right to raise rent. A landlord may have the right to raise rents periodically, pursuant to the lease document. It is very much a contract issue. It depends on the exact wording of the lease agreement. The lease agreement will also detail the requirements for valid notification concerning the agreement. My experience over 25 years of practice is that most building lease agreements expressly provide for base rent to increase each year. A court will enforce most reasonable rental, escalation, clauses, and lease agreements. If there is no obvious language in the lease, the question becomes whether rental increase is implied under the wording of the document or an amendment to it. At the risk of being repetitive, it depends on what the lease says, if anything at all.

Florida
What's permitted use in a commercial lease?
I am in the process of negotiating a commercial lease for my business and I am interested in understanding the concept of "permitted use." Specifically, I am curious about what activities are allowed in the leased space and what limitations there may be. I would like to consult with a lawyer to ensure that the terms of the lease align with the needs of my business and that I am not at risk of violating any provisions.
Diane D.
Permitted use means that you can only use it for the reason you rented it. For example, you cannot rent a place to use as a gym but then use it for a nightclub.

Financing Agreement
New York
What legal considerations should I be aware of when engaging in cross-border financing?
I am a business owner based in the United States, and I am exploring opportunities to expand my operations into other countries. As part of this expansion, I am considering obtaining financing from international lenders or investors. However, I am unsure about the legal implications and potential challenges associated with cross-border financing. I am particularly interested in understanding the regulatory frameworks, tax implications, and any potential risks that I should be aware of before proceeding with such financing arrangements.
Arthur S.
The answer to this question is too voluminous for this format. The governing laws, rules, regulations, etc of each foreign jurisdiction must be taken into consideration prior to entering into a "cross border" financing transaction. Every lender focuses on its exit strategy in the event a loan becomes a non-performing loan...and it is incumbent upon the borrower to fully explore and understand these "exit" strategies.. I would also emphasize the need to fully understand the scope of borrower's obligations under the underwriting scope and requirements of the lender, as well as the several types of loan guarantees that may be required by the lender in any such cross-border financings.

Gas Station Lease Agreement
New York
Can a gas station lease agreement be terminated if the landlord fails to provide necessary repairs and maintenance?
I am a gas station owner and have been leasing the property from a landlord for the past five years. Over time, I have noticed several issues with the property such as leaking fuel tanks, faulty pumps, and inadequate lighting. Despite multiple requests, the landlord has failed to address these issues, which are affecting the safety and profitability of my business. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the lease agreement due to the landlord's negligence and breach of their obligation to provide necessary repairs and maintenance.
Danny J.
Your situation as a gas station owner facing maintenance and safety issues due to landlord negligence is indeed concerning. The ability to terminate a lease agreement in these circumstances depends on several factors: 1. Lease Terms: The specific provisions in your lease agreement regarding maintenance responsibilities and termination clauses are crucial. 2. Implied Warranty of Habitability: Even if not explicitly stated, there's often an implied obligation for landlords to maintain the property in a safe and usable condition. 3. Environmental Regulations: Gas stations are subject to strict environmental and safety regulations. The landlord's failure to address issues like leaking fuel tanks could be a serious violation. 4. Material Breach: The landlord's failure to make necessary repairs could constitute a material breach of the lease agreement, potentially justifying termination. 5. Notice and Opportunity to Cure: Most jurisdictions require tenants to provide formal notice and allow landlords a reasonable time to address issues before termination. Given the complexity of commercial lease agreements and the specific safety concerns in the gas station industry, it would be prudent to have a thorough legal review of your situation. As an experienced attorney, I could: 1. Review your lease agreement in detail 2. Assess the extent of the landlord's breach 3. Evaluate potential environmental and safety liabilities 4. Guide you through the proper notification process 5. Advise on options for lease termination or negotiation with the landlord Would you like to discuss your specific circumstances in more detail to determine the best course of action for protecting your business and ensuring compliance with safety regulations?

What is the average Indemnity CAP a seller should quote , for a Hospital Setup. We are giving away our hospital of 200 beds to investor
David H.
Hello, my name is David hatch I am a Michigan license attorney. This question has several nuances to it. An investor is taking it over, it sounds like you're giving it to them but it's also being sold? That is unclear. It would be helpful to understand what type of indemnity the investor is seeking. It really depends upon the value of the property and the risk involved in the deal. Please let me know if you like additional assistance beyond this. I can help you out. Attorney Dave.
