Commercial Landlord-Tenant Lawyers in San Diego: The Enochs Law Group
Resolving commercial landlord-tenant disputes requires a sophisticated approach and careful analysis. At The Enochs Law Group, we apply critical thinking and diligence to every landlord-tenant matter we handle. While most of our firm’s landlord-tenant work involves landlord representation, we also assist commercial tenants with their problems.
San Diego Commercial Landlords Deserve Effective and Practical Legal Representation
The Enochs Law Group helps owners of retail spaces, office buildings, industrial complexes, and other types of commercial property resolve their landlord-tenant disputes. Most landlord-tenant disputes involve the nonpayment of money. Landlords involved in these disputes care about two things: recapturing possession of the property and recovering monetary damages.
The Enochs Law Group can help you do both. Our team has over two decades of experience handling collections matters and real estate litigation. Landlords often face a variety of legal challenges. Whether you are dealing with a holdover tenant, lease violations, ADA compliance, or commercial lease renegotiation, The Enochs Law Group is here to help.
Commercial Tenants Need to Understand and Assert Their Legal Rights
While commercial tenants have different rights than residential tenants, California law still offers you significant protections and legal options. Our real estate lawyers can help you interpret your lease and understand issues like:
- Assignment of leases
- Responsibility for improvements and repairs
- Unlawful retaliation
- Security deposit distribution
We Build Relationships on Trust and Respect
We Approach Every Case With a Business Mindset
While you may be familiar with BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement), it’s a technique many lawyers don’t know about or understand. At The Enochs Law Group, we believe our clients deserve pragmatic, informed advice, so we apply proven business principles like BATNA to litigation.
During negotiations, identifying your BATNA can lead to better and more efficient outcomes. However, before you can define a BATNA, you first need to:
- Set your priorities and objectives
- Identify all your data and metric-based alternatives
- Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of your options and place the options in a hierarchy
- Build a secondary course of action in case your negotiations fail
- Calculate the least favorable outcome you’re willing to accept
If you think this doesn’t sound like a typical approach to real estate litigation, you’re right. We don’t create legal strategies based on tradition. Instead, we use data, creativity, and critical thinking to give our clients an edge.
