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.

Real Estate
Lease Agreement
Arizona
In a lease purchase agreement, is the purchase price agreed upon initially and if so, how do you calculate a purchase price for 3 years into the future?
I am looking to start a RE development company that offers Lease Purchase agreements. Before entering into such a contract, I need to run the numbers to see if this is a profitable business. The purchase price is a key factor.
Jane C.
I suggest you consult with your accountant. Also look at the assignment provision in the lease to see if there are any restrictions.

Solar Panel Lease Agreement
Arizona
Can the solar panel lease agreement be transferred to a new homeowner if I sell my house?
I recently installed solar panels on my house through a leasing agreement with a solar company. However, I am considering selling my house in the near future and I'm unsure if the lease agreement for the solar panels can be transferred to the new homeowner, or if I would need to terminate the lease before selling. I want to understand my rights and obligations regarding the solar panel lease agreement in the event of selling my home.
Thomas D.
In most cases, yes. I would need to review the contract. If the contract is silent on this issue, then by state law it should be assignable. Tom

Lease Purchase Agreement
Arizona
Can a seller back out of a Lease Purchase Agreement without providing a reason?
I entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with a seller for a property, where I agreed to lease the property for a certain period with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease term. However, the seller recently informed me that they have decided not to proceed with the agreement and are backing out, without providing any specific reason for their decision. I had already invested time and money into preparing for the purchase, and I am now concerned about my rights and options in this situation. Can the seller legally back out of the Lease Purchase Agreement without giving a reason, and what recourse do I have?
David U.
Quite simply, the answer depends on exactly what the LPA States either party will or will not do. Ordinarily termination or cancellation rights are expressly spelled out in contracts. This is why it is so important to have an attorney work on your documents rather than just using canned documents available on the Internet.

Deed of Trust
Illinois
Can a Deed of Trust be modified without the consent of all parties involved?
I recently purchased a property with the help of a mortgage loan, and a Deed of Trust was executed to secure the loan. However, I have come across some financial difficulties and am considering refinancing the mortgage to lower my monthly payments. I have been informed that the terms of the Deed of Trust may need to be modified in order for the refinancing to take place, but I am unsure whether all parties involved, including the lender and the trustee, need to provide their consent for such modifications to be made. Can a Deed of Trust be modified without the consent of all parties involved, or do I need to obtain their approval before proceeding with refinancing?
David U.
You must have their consent. In the general/miscellaneous provisions toward the bottom of the DOT, you should see a standard provision, stating that no amendment to the deed of trust will be valid unless evidenced by a fully executed written agreement.
Real Estate
Purchase Agreement
New York
Are there cancellation fees in purchase agreements?
I am currently in the process of purchasing a home and I have been presented with a purchase agreement. I was wondering if there are any cancellation fees included in the agreement, as I would like to make sure that I am aware of all the terms and potential costs associated with this purchase. I want to make sure that I am fully informed before I make a final decision.
Damien B.
Hello! I understand you are entering into a Purchase Agreement and want to know whether there are any cancellation fees. First, you would read the agreement to see if there is any mention of termination/cancellation fees such as the loss of the down payment if the buyer attempt to terminate the contract. But, generally, the agreement is binding contract. So, if a buyer attempts to cancel the contract, it could be considered a breach of contract. In that situation, the seller can claim damages, which usually results in a loss of the down payment but also could lead to other monetary claims or a claim to attempt to force the buyer to fulfill the purchase (general called a specific performance claim). Separately, in most cases, if the buyer's ability to purchase the property is dependent on getting a secured loan, usually there would be no cancellation or damage claim and the buyer would have the right to the return of the downpayment (this should be outlined in the contract and is usually referred to as a contingency clause). I hope that helps.
