Transaction Review

We review your real estate transactions, and work closely with your real estate broker, lender, bank, and title company to review and negotiate purchase contracts, loan documents, condominium documents, and other agreements. We have a thorough understanding of the complex Hawaii rules and procedures governing the purchase and sale of real estate, and can help you and your own team make informed decisions.

Entity Formation

We create legal entities to hold your real estate investments, such as limited liability companies and corporations and create trusts, if appropriate, to protect your investments and minimize your exposure to estate tax.

Ongoing Compliance

We help ensure ongoing legal and tax compliance with your accountants and your non-U.S. consultants to make sure your investments are protected and comply with U.S. and Hawaii law. We regularly partner with international tax advisors who may assist with complex, cross-border tax issues, and other similar specialists.

We can serve as part-time general counsel for your family office in the United States. Our scalable team approach provides maximum affordability while ensuring your needs are met. We also provide services for investors who own commercial real estate in the U.S. Mainland.
