We are a well established San Diego based law firm with a strong transactional real estate practice and a long standing reputation for precision, responsiveness, and client service. Our attorneys handle sophisticated commercial matters and rely on experienced support professionals who take ownership of their work.

• Handle new matter intake processes, including conflicts review, engagement letters, and conflict waiver documentation
• Maintain oversight of billing support and attorney time entry through 3E Elite
• Provide day to day administrative support such as calendar management, correspondence, document organization, and deadline tracking
• Work with industry standard commercial real estate forms and platforms, including AIA, AIR, and CAR
