I represent homeowners associations providing advice regarding the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (“CCIOA”), contract, property, construction defects, corporate governance, fiduciary duties, maintenance, enforcement, collections, litigation and real estate considerations.  I have also assisted owners of office and retail properties with ongoing management issues, such as assignment and subletting, construction of tenant improvements, tenant defaults and property damage and insurance issues.

I have provided advice, performed due diligence and negotiated agreements relating to a $90 million dollar construction project, a $340 million dollar financing arrangement and negotiated purchase and sale documents for over 400 residential properties. I have previously served on the boards of Red Sky Ranch Metropolitan District and Holland Creek Metropolitan District. I was also president of the Village Townhomes at Arrowhead Association. I was named as a Colorado Rising Star in Real Estate by Super Lawyers in 2009.

In litigation, Bernard Chanin, co-counsel from Pennsylvania and I, represented a small Colorado business in an American Arbitration Association arbitration hearing and obtained a multi-million dollar award for a breach of contract claim against a subsidiary of a Fortune 100 company.  A multi-million dollar counter-claim was rejected by the arbitrator.
