Land Transactions

Hallahan Law, LLC advises landowners, investors, and project stakeholders on CNMI land transactions, including leases and deeds. We structure agreements, address Article XII issues, and support permitting and approval strategy, and help clients move projects forward with clear documentation and practical legal guidance.

Our Services

  • Joint Venture & Development Agreements

    We draft and negotiate joint venture, partnership, and development agreements for projects that require clear allocation of rights, responsibilities, control, economics, and risk. Our goal is to create agreements that are workable in practice and durable over the life of the project.

  • Investor–Landowner Agreements

    We prepare agreements that align the interests of investors and landowners from the outset, including terms for capital contributions, governance, revenue sharing, development milestones, and exit rights.

  • Lease Agreements

    We structure and negotiate ground leases, commercial leases, and project-related occupancy arrangements with attention to control, term, assignment, use rights, default remedies, and long-term project flexibility.

  • Government Approvals & Permits

    We advise on the legal aspects of land use permits, zoning, environmental clearances, and related approvals so projects are supported by complete, coordinated, and transaction-aware documentation.

  • Article XII Compliance Strategies

    CNMI land transactions require careful attention to constitutional and legal restrictions. We help clients evaluate and structure arrangements with Article XII in mind so the transaction remains legally supportable and commercially workable.

  • Risk Allocation & Dispute Prevention

    We identify potential points of conflict early and address them through careful drafting, approval conditions, default provisions, cure mechanisms, and dispute resolution terms designed to protect both the project and the parties involved.
