She explained everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and stayed one step ahead the entire way. I never had to chase her for updates — she was always on top of it, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines legal expertise with such a down-to-earth, approachable style. I felt like I was in really good hands the whole time. I’ll absolutely be working with Laura again for any legal needs that come up in the future, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sharp, dependable, and genuinely helpful attorney."

Unique Hybrid Background ➲ Deep Legal, Tech & Commercial Experience More by pure chance than design, I arrived late in life to pursue a career in law. My background spans more than 3 decades across Information Technology, entrepreneurship & the legal profession supporting my claim to being a 'Deep Generalist'. What is a 'Deep Generalist'? 'The professionals who develop into really great client advisors are deep generalists.' Quote from Warren Bennis. From 2013 I worked for established boutique property, finance & commercial law firms + an award-winning #newlaw firm of senior lawyers (formerly Nexus Law Group, now merged with Arch.law) before founding my digital law firm Blue Ocean Law Group in 2017. I also worked part-time for 2 years as a freelance online expert across all aspects of Australian Law with JustAnswer (H.Q. in San Francisco) and volunteered at the Caxton Legal Centre to give back to the community. Now I offer pro bono (free) legal assistance at my discretion. My achievements in the law are best reflected in the high number of settlements where civil litigation has been avoided, court judgements (incl. successful appeals) in my clients' favour & [90+] testimonials which can be seen on the blueocean.law [700+] page website which offers tons [585+] of both free & paid innovative legal products & resources. My personal experience as a client on the other side of legal matters affords me a unique perspective and goes some way to explaining my passion for the reinvention of the delivery of legal services. I am an early adopter of technology + gadgets, an avid reader and an animal lover. In January 2023, I joined the IAPP – International Association of Privacy Professionals and became a Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States by gaining the highly valued gold-standard ANSI-Accredited CIPP/US credential. I followed this up in August 2023, by obtaining the Certified in CyberSecurity qualification form ISC(2). Pre-Law Background From 1992 to 2002, I worked for Accenture as an IT Project Manager across APAC (including long-term project assignments in New Zealand & Singapore). I started a small business side hustle in 1997 and in 2003 I left Accenture to become a full-time entrepreneur in the transport industry. I later expanded into the mezzanine property development finance market as well as venturing into small-scale property development.Unique Hybrid Background

Commercial Lease
California
What is a commercial lease agreement and how does it work?
I am a business owner interested in renting a commercial space for my business. I am trying to understand the details of a commercial lease agreement and how it works so I can make an informed decision about whether or not to sign a lease. I am looking for information about the terms, conditions, and other relevant details that could affect my business.
MICHAEL B.
A commercial lease agreement sets out the parameters of the space to be leased, including a description of the premises, an allocation of responsibilities for janitorial services, electrical services, tenant improvements, insurance requirements, payment of rent and payment of common area expenses, parking for employees and visitors, telephone and telecommunication services and many other issues.

Purchase Agreement
Washington
Are purchase agreements confidential?
I recently made an offer to purchase a commercial property and the seller has asked me to sign a purchase agreement. I am unfamiliar with the terms of the agreement and want to make sure that it is kept confidential. I am concerned about the potential for the details of the purchase agreement to be publicly disclosed and want to know if purchase agreements are confidential.
Merry K.
I hope that you used the assistance of a WA State commercial real estate attorney to advise you in the writing and presentation of your offer to purchase a commercial property, as these can be extremely complicated. (Or, at the very least, I hope you were represented by an experienced and knowledgeable buyer's agent). To my knowledge, this type of PSA agreement is not required to be confidential unless you included that language in your offer. Please be aware that once the sale closes, the amount of the purchase price will be public information, in county records.

Net Lease
Maryland
Is the landlord responsible for maintenance and repairs in a net lease agreement?
I recently signed a net lease agreement for a commercial property, and I am unsure about the extent of my responsibilities as a tenant when it comes to maintenance and repairs. The lease states that I am responsible for all operating expenses, but I want to clarify if this includes regular maintenance and repairs, or if those obligations fall on the landlord. I want to understand my rights and obligations before I proceed with any costly repairs or maintenance tasks.
Sara S.
Hi, Your responsibilities as a tenant will be identified in the lease. Such responsibilities will probably include some maintenance and repairs while the landlord is likely responsible for structural soundness, essential services and common area maintenance of the property. Reviewing the lease with a qualified Maryland attorney will give you much more insight.

Rental Agreement
Illinois
Rent agreement/lease
Hello, I signed a lease for a commercial rental. The owner said that the previous tenant was there for over 20 years and he needed to fix the place. We signed the lease and gave him the deposit, he said that upon completion of the build out he was going to hand us the keys. I needed to buy doors and the handles. I gave him $1500. He said that he would safe the receipts. The build out is completed and he gives me a bill of 5k for things that he "had" to do. He said that the vents were too old, that he had to change the heater and other stuff. When I said no because I was not expecting to pay anything, he sends me a new bill for 12k because I was being unappreciated of the work he did. I need to know my options since I don't have the keys yet and I won't pay something that I didn't know it was needed. Thank you!
Mathew K.
It depends on if there was a written agreement or a verbal agreement for your options. Sending a demand letter from an attorney followed by negotiations could help resolve the problem and avoid litigation. If the landlord remains unreasonable then you will likely have to file a lawsuit.

Finance Lease
Georgia
What are the legal implications of entering into a finance lease agreement?
I am considering entering into a finance lease agreement for a commercial property, and I would like to understand the legal implications before making a decision. I have been approached by a leasing company that is offering favorable terms, such as lower upfront costs and fixed monthly payments, but I am uncertain about the potential risks and responsibilities involved. I want to ensure that I am fully aware of my legal obligations and rights under a finance lease agreement before proceeding.
Jerome L.
Hi there, A finance lease agreement can be a practical way to acquire commercial property or equipment with lower upfront costs and fixed payments—but it comes with specific legal obligations and long-term commitments that you should fully understand before signing. Here are the key legal implications to consider: Legal Considerations in a Finance Lease Agreement: Binding Long-Term Obligation: A finance lease is typically non-cancellable during the lease term, meaning you are legally obligated to make payments for the entire duration, even if you no longer need the property. Ownership vs. Use: You do not own the property under a finance lease. You are leasing it for an extended period, often with an option to purchase at the end. However, all the risks and responsibilities of ownership—like maintenance, insurance, and taxes—may still fall on you. Lessor’s Ownership Rights: The leasing company retains title to the property during the lease term. If you default, they typically have the right to repossess the property and pursue you for any remaining balance. Fixed Monthly Payments (But Watch for Hidden Costs): While the fixed payments seem attractive, be sure to review: Interest rates Late fees or penalties Additional service charges or fees tied to property upkeep End-of-Term Options: Understand your rights at the end of the lease: Can you buy the property? Are there residual value payments? Will you owe fees for wear-and-tear or restoration? Termination & Default Clauses: Read the fine print on what constitutes default and whether the lessor can accelerate payments or take legal action if you miss a payment. Impact on Financial Statements: A finance lease may appear as a liability on your balance sheet, depending on how the lease is structured. It’s wise to consult with an accountant on this point too. Before moving forward, I highly recommend having the lease agreement reviewed by an attorney. This will ensure the terms are fair, your risks are understood, and you are fully protected. If you would like assistance reviewing or negotiating the terms of your finance lease, I am happy to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Commercial Lease & Business Contracts Attorney
