Major projects require crystal-clear agreements that leave no room for ambiguity. We draft and negotiate joint venture, partnership, and development contracts that allocate rights, responsibilities, profits, and risks in a way that fosters collaboration and protects your interests over the long term.

Aligning the goals of investors and landowners is essential for a smooth project lifecycle. We prepare detailed agreements that clearly set out the terms of capital contributions, governance, revenue sharing, and exit strategies — ensuring all parties remain on the same page from groundbreaking to completion.

Whether your project involves long-term ground leases, commercial leases, or multi-use developments, we structure and negotiate lease agreements that maximize your project’s operational flexibility while securing income streams and protecting property rights.

Navigating CNMI’s government approval process requires more than filling out forms. We provide legal guidance on securing land use permits, zoning approvals, environmental clearances, and other regulatory authorizations, making sure your applications are complete, compliant, and positioned for success.

The CNMI’s land alienation restrictions are unique, and a misstep can void an entire deal. We craft ownership and control structures that satisfy constitutional requirements while maintaining your project’s commercial and operational viability. Every structure we recommend is designed to withstand both legal challenge and practical implementation.

Disputes can stall or destroy a project. We identify potential points of conflict early and address them through precise contractual language, robust dispute resolution clauses, and compliance safeguards — protecting both timelines and budgets.
