Our Practice
Real Estate
Guiding You Through Every Stage of Your Real Estate Transaction
Real estate transactions involve significant financial and legal complexity, and experienced counsel can make all the difference. We advise buyers, sellers, and lenders on a wide range of matters, including the preparation and recordation of deeds, purchase contracts, seller-financing arrangements, loan agreements, and the review of real estate and condominium documents. Our careful, detail-oriented approach ensures that clients are fully informed and well-protected at every step.
Business Planning
Building a Strong Legal Foundation for Your Business
Whether you are launching a new venture or planning for the future of an established enterprise, sound legal counsel is essential at every stage. We advise clients on business structure and governance, as well as succession planning to ensure a smooth transition when the time comes. Working closely with each client, we craft practical, tailored solutions that protect our clients’ interests and position them for long-term success.
Entity Formation & Management
Forming and Maintaining Your Hawaii Business Entity
Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions an entrepreneur or business owner can make. We assist clients in forming Hawaii business entities, including LLCs, corporations, and partnerships, and advise on the structure best suited to their needs and goals. Once your entity is formed, staying in compliance with Hawaii’s annual reporting requirements is essential to maintaining your good standing and protecting the legal benefits your entity provides.
Our registered agent and annual reporting services take the guesswork out of compliance. We monitor deadlines, prepare and file required reports, and keep your entity in good standing with the State of Hawaii so you can focus on running your business. Whether you are forming a new entity or looking for reliable ongoing support for an existing one, we are here to help.

We represent clients in the negotiation and preparation of a broad range of commercial contracts, bringing the rigor and sophistication of large international firm experience to every engagement.
