Los Angeles Business and Real Estate

Starting a business and purchasing or selling real estate are some of the most important decisions many people will make.  At Ajalat & Ajalat, LLP, we have the skills and experience required to assist our clients with all of their business and real estate needs.  To learn about the litigation services we provide in these areas of law, please see our litigation page. 

Business Formation and Transactions

Deciding on a business entity is one of the most critical choices to make when deciding to start a business.  The entity you select can have significant tax and liability consequences that may last for the life of your business.  Drawing on our extensive experience in assisting all types of businesses with entity formation, we examine your business model and help you select from the available entities, which include corporations, limited liability companies, general and limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships. 

In addition to entity formation, we also assist our business clients with all types of contract formation, including those for equipment and goods, employment, lease, real estate, and distribution contracts.  Our experience as both transactional and litigation attorneys ensures that we can negotiate and draft contracts with the goal of preventing future disputes. 

Entertainment Industry Contracts

Contracts related to film production, financing, and theatrical distribution are often complex, involving many parties with competing interests.  If you are engaging in a motion picture contract, it is important to be represented by an attorney who understands the unique nature of these deals.  Located in the heart of the film industry in the North Hollywood Academy Tower, Ajalat & Ajalat are in a prime location to stay abreast of developments that happen in the industry, and maintain successful working relationships with key companies in the entertainment industry.  In addition, Sol Ajalat in particular has handled many complicated film contracts that are in the financing, pre-production, and production stages.

Real Estate Transactions

Although California law does not require you to obtain legal representation to buy or sell a home, it is in your best interest to do so.  An experienced real estate attorney can guide you through the transaction, representing your interests during the negotiations, reviewing the terms of the contract to ensure your rights and interests are protected, and overseeing the process to make sure you and the other party are complying with those terms.  Our attorneys have over 90 years of combined experience in Southern California, giving us the familiarity with local laws needed to ensure that your real estate transaction proceeds smoothly.
