Three disciplines.
One unified firm.

Business Law

Formation, governance, mergers, and commercial contracts. We counsel founders and established operators alike — protecting what you've built and positioning what comes next.

  • Entity formation & governance
  • Mergers & acquisitions
  • Commercial contracts
  • Shareholder agreements

Real Estate Law

From acquisition through disposition — commercial, residential, and mixed-use. We represent buyers, sellers, developers, and lenders at every phase of the transaction.

  • Purchase & sale transactions
  • Lease negotiation & drafting
  • Development & entitlements
  • Title & closing

Estate Law

Comprehensive planning for the transfer of wealth, business interests, and legacy. We help families protect what matters most with clarity and care.

  • Wills & trusts
  • Estate & gift tax planning
  • Business succession
  • Probate & administration
Founded on the principle that boutique counsel should deliver institutional-grade results.

Precision over volume.
Counsel over transactions.

We deliberately limit the size of our practice so every client gets a senior attorney — not a paralegal stack.

Every engagement begins with listening. We study your situation before we advise it, because the right answer requires the full picture. That discipline — unhurried, thorough, plainly communicated — is what earns the trust of clients who have more to lose than most.

We do not rush your matter to close a file. We structure it to withstand scrutiny, negotiate it to protect your position, and document it so it holds.

What measured counsel
looks like in practice.

Business Acquisition
$47M

Structured the acquisition of a regional distribution company for a private equity client — navigating complex multi-state licensing issues and an accelerated 60-day close.

Real Estate Portfolio
$120M+

Represented a family office in the disposition of a mixed-use portfolio across four California markets, coordinating tax, title, and lender counsel from LOI to closing.

Estate & Trust
$19M Estate

Designed a comprehensive trust structure for a multi-generational family business, minimizing estate tax exposure while preserving operational control for the founding generation.

What our clients say.

"Marisol had a level of command over our estate that we simply hadn't experienced at our previous firm. She saw angles we hadn't considered — and protected assets we didn't know were at risk."

Robert & Linda Castellano Estate Planning Clients · San Francisco

"Theodore moved our acquisition from term sheet to close in 54 days. That pace, with zero surprises — it was the most professional transaction experience I've had in 15 years of deals."

Marcus Webb Managing Partner, Westside Capital

"Diana structured our partnership agreements with the kind of clarity that prevents problems before they start. Two years in — not a single dispute between partners. That's the work."
