San Diego Contract Negotiation Lawyer

"Get it in writing," is sound advice whenever you enter into an agreement with another person or organization. A contract is a formal, legal document that clearly spells out the rights and obligations of all parties involved in an agreement. The lack of well-written contracts leads to disputes and court battles that can be costly in terms of time, money, and reputation.

The contract attorneys of Endeman, Lincoln, Turek & Heater, LLP in San Diego, California, can help you avoid disputes that could evolve into litigation. Through review, negotiation, and drafting of contracts, we work to protect your interests today and in the years to come.

If you need to get it in writing, please contact a contract negotiation attorney at our law firm today. We assist clients with all types of contracts and agreements, including:

Technology licensing

Distribution contracts

Purchase or sale agreements

Joint venture agreements

Medical group contracts

Vendor contracts

Employment contracts

Sometimes people do not put agreements in writing because they trust the other party. They may believe they share a common understanding of an agreement until they sit down to discuss the details. That is frequently when areas of disagreement or ambiguity surface.

Tailored to Your Needs

Our contract attorneys do not fill in the blanks on a boilerplate agreement and call it a contract. We discuss the issues involved in your agreement and negotiate on your behalf. We will ask you to consider all eventualities. We clearly state all the details in a document tailored specifically to you and your circumstances.

Contracts are the language of business. The better yours are, the more smoothly your business will run. If you have questions or concerns about contractual matters, please contact an attorney at Endeman, Lincoln, Turek & Heater, LLP today.

We represented a non-profit organization which developed 116 low income rental townhomes and a six story office building in the City Heights neighborhood in San Diego. Soon after completion the occupants began to experience water intrusion and mechanical problems. We brought suit against the general contractor and architect for construction defects. The defendants claimed our client's damages were in the range of $4 million or less. The matter settled during trial for $11,375,000.

We represented 70 residents against the park owner who tried to illegally remove the residents from the park so that he could develop the property as a commercial shopping center. The owner tried to force the residents out by failing to maintain the park and closing the common area facilities at the park. When the residents tried to sell their homes, the park owner refused to allow the homes to remain in the park. A jury awarded $11,700,000 to the residents. The verdict was reduced by the trial judge and a judgment was entered against the defendants in the amount of $9,917,717.

San Diego Gas & Electric condemned a permanent power line easement over the Stonebridge community in Scripps Ranch which was to replace a temporary easement set to expire. SDG&E initially offered the Stonebridge developers $759,000 for the easement. We were then retained and demonstrated the substantial value of the property interests being condemned and the damages that resulted to the remaining property. We obtained a $10,650,000 in settlement before trial on behalf of the property owner developers.

We represented a group of industrial property and business owners who alleged that the County of Riverside had fraudulently induced them to enter into a contract to support the formation of a Mello-Roos district, and then breached that contract by not providing all the promised infrastructure improvements. After a six week trial, obtained a $3.9 million jury verdict based on the jury's finding of fraud and breach of contract.

We represented a City and Water Company in a complex water/power case involving not only Indian water rights but also the first contested Federal Energy Regulatory Commission hydroelectric project re-licensing case. See also Public Law 100-675,102 Stat. 4000 (1988) and amendments. (Firm members also participated in the drafting of federal legislation designed to settle thirty-year dispute over rights to the San Luis Rey River.)
