Brianna has broad and extensive business experience; She is an entrepreneur and co-owner of a microtechnology manufacturing company that was built by her and her partner, where she also served as the Chief Legal Officer and Human Resource Manager for the company. While building the manufacturing business, she created a brokerage firm for business transactions and has managed several other businesses which she has ownership interest in. Brianna’s involvement in these various businesses over the past 15 years provides a unique skillset to her clients; Not only does she understand contractual principals and obligations from a legal perspective while drafting and negotiating agreements, but she also has the foresight, experience, and ability to ensure the agreement reflects the practical aspects of the business.

Financing Agreement

New York

Asked on Sep 1, 2024

Can refinancing my mortgage help me save money in the long run?

I am currently considering refinancing my mortgage and would like to know if this option can help me save money in the long run. I purchased my home three years ago and have been making regular mortgage payments since then. However, I recently learned that interest rates have significantly dropped since I obtained my mortgage, and I am wondering if refinancing would allow me to secure a lower interest rate and reduce my monthly mortgage payments. I am also curious to know if there are any potential drawbacks or costs associated with refinancing that I should be aware of before making a decision.

Arthur S.

Answered Sep 3, 2024

Depending on the rate differential between your current mortgage loan and the refinancing proposal, the saving in the long term can be substantilal. In the short term, the savings in debt service payments will be off-set by the cost of the refinancing, e.g. commitment and loan fees, appraisal and other underwriting costs imposed by a new lender), mortgage title fees and atty fees (taking into account you, the borrower, customarily pays the new lender's atty costs). That said, many residential lenders limit the costs to residential borrowers of the financing costs of any such refinancing),

Letter of Intent

New York

Asked on Jul 26, 2024

Can a Letter of Intent be legally binding?

I am in the process of negotiating a business deal with another party and we have exchanged Letters of Intent as a preliminary agreement. However, I am unsure if this document holds any legal weight and if it can be enforced in case of a breach. I want to understand the legal implications of a Letter of Intent and whether it can be considered a legally binding contract.

Arthur S.

Answered Aug 7, 2024

Short answer is yes...provided they contain the basic elements of a binding agreement. LOI's can be short and simple or extensive and detailed. Most often, LOIs are intended to provide a road map for the drafting of more formal, comprehensive binding agreements and contain an express a provision that they are not intended to be binding upon the parties to the LOI.

Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 2, 2023

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.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

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.
