How do you write a lease for a building that isn’t there yet? On September 28 Dean Alterman, together with Timothy Anderson of Troutman Sanders and George Bernhardt of Baker Hughes, will do a presentation on build-to-suit leases for the Real Property, Trusts and Estates Section of the American Bar Association, with Hannah Dowd McPhelin of Harris Enterprises moderating the panel discussion. The presentation is free and open to members of the Section.
On June 14, Dean Alterman will present a Continuing Legal Education program tomorrow for the Solo and Small Firm Section of the Oregon State Bar on three types of easements: view easements, non-development easements (actually servitudes or covenants), and conservation easements. These are the “You Can’t Do That!” easements. Instead of giving the grantee permission to use the grantor’s property, the grantor is agreeing NOT to do something on the grantor’s property. Do you want to protect your property’s view of Mount Hood? Buy a view easement from the downhill neighbor.
Lawyers who draft view easements and non-development easements must produce agreements that satisfy their clients and are acceptable to the other party. Drafters of conservation easements must keep a third audience in mind: the Internal Revenue Service lists syndicated conservation easements among its Dirty Dozen tax scams.
All Classical Portland has leased space in the the KOIN Tower in downtown Portland for its offices and studio, and from where its distinctive and high-quality programming will originate beginning in 2024.
We are honored that All Classical Portland called on Alterman Law Group and our partner Erica Menze to represent All Classical Portland in negotiating its new lease.
