Panel 1: TI Allowances & Disbursements (1.0 MCLE) Many leases provide for tenant improvement allowances and include complicated disbursement requirements. We will begin by hearing the broker’s perspective on how TI allowances are calculated. This session will then provide an overview of a typical disbursement process and we will hear the landlord’s and tenant’s concerns in connection with the disbursement process.
Panel 2: Mechanic’s Liens (0.5 MCLE) This session will provide a detailed description of the remedies that are available for contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and other entities on private works and public works. We will cover the steps that must be taken to perfect a mechanic’s lien, stop payment notice and payment bond rights. The defense that owners may assert will also be discussed.
Panel 3: AIA Contracts – What Every Leasing Lawyer needs to know (1.0 MCLE) Many work letters detail key elements that the landlord insists be included in the AIA contract between the tenant and its general contractor. This session will review a typical landlord provision, highlight possible tenant pushbacks and provide an overview of the AIA contract.
You are invited to join us for a networking reception to make new contacts, exchange ideas, and enjoy a relaxing evening mingling with other commercial real estate leasing professionals. Complimentary drink tickets and light food provided.

The tech billionaire that bought Martin's Beach, located just outside Half Moon Bay, California, has been facing an uphill legal battle ever since he decided to shut out the public. He's pretty much lost every step of the way.
Now, Vinod Kholsa is at the top of that hill and asking SCOTUS to review the decision requiring him to maintain public access. Despite the fact that his plea is not expected to be taken up, commentators believe that the case provides SCOTUS a vehicle to further restrict a state's right to control private property. Read More
