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.

I've worked extensively with intellectual property contracts, and specifically with IT contracts (SaaS, Master Subscriptions Agreements, Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, License Agreements, etc.), and I have built my own technology solutions that help to quickly and thoroughly draft, review and customize complex contracts.
"Greg was very helpful and responsive. He not only provided insightful comments on the contract but also explained the reasoning behind them. Highly recommended, especially for software contracts."
Tabetha H.
I am a startup veteran with a demonstrated history of execution with companies from formation through growth stage and acquisition. A collaborative and data-driven manager, I love to build and lead successful teams, and enjoy working full-stack across all aspects of the business.
"Tabetha provided feedback on a legal document in a timely and thorough manner. I plan to use her services going forward."

Property Lease
California
I have rent to own lease agreement the owner passed away and his conservator sold the property what can I do
I explained in the first box
Matthew K.
After the sale, did you continue living there and paying the lease amount? It's difficult to expand on my answer without reading the agreement (it cannot be oral). Assuming the agreement is what you say, you might consider recording a Lis Pendens on the property. That will get everyone's attention, I can assure you. Probably also consider a quiet title action. None of that advice is necessarily relevant; it depends on what the agreement says.

Purchase and Sale Agreement
California
Purchase and sale agreement contingencies?
I am in the process of purchasing a home and have received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I understand that there are contingencies that must be met in order for the agreement to be valid, but I am unclear on what these contingencies are and how they will affect the agreement. I am hoping to get some insight from a lawyer on what contingencies I should be aware of and how they could affect the agreement.
Myrna L.
Contingencies are conditions provided in the contract that need to be met prior to performance or close of escrow. In Purchase and Sale Agreements, it is usually the buyer who negotiates for contingencies to reduce or eliminate their risks prior to close of escrow. Normally, buyer’s contingencies would include appraisal reports, property inspections, mortgages, title reports or sale of another property. More often than not, sellers do not have contingencies in Purchase and Sale Agreements because they want to sell the property in a timely manner; if seller cannot deliver the property, it may deem the property not available for sale in the first place.

Quitclaim Deed
California
Recording a quitclaim deed: how?
I recently inherited a property from my aunt and I am looking to transfer the title to my name. My aunt had created a Quitclaim deed transferring the title to me, but I am unsure of the process to record the deed and make it official. I would like to understand the process of recording a quitclaim deed to ensure that the title to the property is legally transferred to me.
Boris K.
You probably want an attorney to review the deed and make sure it looks ok. You also want an attorney to help you with completing the Preliminary Change of Ownership Form (used by county to determine reassessment of taxes). If all of that looks good, then you want to record the deed with the county recorder. I can review deed and help with Preliminary Change of Ownership Form for $295. Same Day Service.

Escrow Services Agreement
California
What are the legal obligations and potential risks involved in using escrow services for a real estate transaction?
I am currently in the process of purchasing a property and my real estate agent has recommended using an escrow service to ensure a secure and smooth transaction. However, I have heard conflicting information about the legal obligations and potential risks associated with using escrow services. I want to make sure I fully understand the legal implications and any potential risks involved before proceeding with this option.
Dolan W.
Hello! Welcome to contractscounsel.com. So in your case, using an escrow service in a real estate transaction is super common as it helps facilitate a secure and smooth transfer of property ownership. In an escrow arrangement, a neutral third party holds the funds, documents, and other assets until all terms and conditions of the sale are met, ensuring that neither the buyer nor the seller is at risk of losing money or property if the other party fails to fulfill their obligations. They are basically a middleman. One of the main legal obligations when using escrow is adherence to the terms outlined in the escrow agreement. Both parties must comply with the instructions provided in the contract, including deadlines for deposits, inspections, and disclosures. The escrow company is legally bound to act according to the instructions from the buyer and seller and can only release funds or documents when all conditions are met. If a dispute arises, the escrow company may require mutual agreement or a court order before taking any action, which could delay the process.

If a dispute arises, the escrow company may require mutual agreement or a court order before taking any action, which could delay the process. Potential risks of using escrow services include issues related to the service provider's reliability and the risk of fraud. It's important to choose a reputable and licensed escrow company to minimize risks. In some cases, fraudulent companies may present themselves as escrow services, taking advantage of unsuspecting buyers or sellers. I would verify with others in the field or even friends and family, in addition to doing your own research online to sniff out any scams. Best of luck! Dolan
