With our depth of experience and a commitment to professional excellence, we deliver:

From complicated multi-property transactions; land development; contesting government regulations; commercial, industrial or office transactions on behalf of tenants or landlords; amendment of governing documents; to negotiating reconstruction contracts, we have the skill and experience to bring these transactions to a conclusion favorable to our clients.

We tailor our fees to the needs of the client by staffing each project to efficiently provide the service needed. We consider special fee arrangements for major litigation and work with our clients to match our fee structure to the clients' budget and cash flow needs.

Berding & Weil has some of the most respected litigators in our community. Our litigation groups represent owners of major real estate projects, both residential and commercial; classes of plaintiffs in national building product class actions; plaintiffs in major construction defect litigation; and businesses of all types in a wide range of business disputes.

We are often asked by clients to assist in other areas of the country due to our reputation in our core practice areas. While our home office is in the San Francisco Bay Area, we handle matters in many states using our own attorneys and associated local counsel in locations from Hawaii to Florida.

There are a few things about the way Berding & Weil conducts the practice of law that are in fact unique, not in the assertion, but in the actual execution.

• It is our policy to return every telephone call every day.
• We are accustomed to urgent requirements; we have production capacity in our support staff so that the most exacting requirements of our clients can be satisfied.
• Access to the lawyers handling your matter is available on a continuous basis and each lawyer is fully supported by dedicated and skilled staff.
