Real Estate Transactions
and Finance

For 40 years, Trainor Fairbrook has helped to shape the skyline of Sacramento and much of Northern California, regularly representing parties in multi-million dollar transactions. While our attorneys are known for creative, pragmatic solutions to the obstacles that threaten to sideline real estate purchases and sales, they never lose sight of the ultimate goal: successfully completing the transaction.

Our commercial leasing department is a recognized leader of Sacramento’s commercial real estate industry, and our transactional department has the breadth of experience and legal expertise necessary to advise clients on a variety of transaction types.

Our accessibility and commitment to meeting client deadlines has earned the respect of our clients, whom we have represented in over 15,000 purchase, sale and lease transactions throughout Northern California.

Property Management
and Bankruptcy

Debt collection is an unfortunate necessity for property owners, landlords and lenders. However, many efforts to recover these funds are unsuccessful, due to not having access to those with the necessary experience. The attorneys at Trainor Fairbrook have handled thousands of cases in which they have assisted clients with rent collection, debt collection and bankruptcy actions, thanks to our use of aggressive yet pragmatic time-tested solutions. Our effectiveness is demonstrated by the simple fact that we have worked with more lenders, commercial property management companies and landlords than any other legal firm in the Sacramento region.

We work closely with our clients to achieve their desired results and maximize recoveries. Whether in state or federal bankruptcy courts, we strive to provide the prompt, cost efficient and ultimately effective service that our clients deserve and have come to expect for more than 40 years.

Litigation, Arbitration
and Mediation

Our extensive experience has taught us that the key to successful litigation is an aggressive, proactive strategy. We work collaboratively with our clients to develop and implement a course of action within the client’s budgetary constraints that will place our client in a position of leverage, and then assist them in securing a successful and early resolution.

By limiting ourselves to litigation, arbitration and mediation matters relating only to real estate and business, we ensure the cost effectiveness of our efforts, while providing our clients with the deep, nuanced understanding that can only be earned through extensive experience in these specific niches of case law. This means that we can save our clients the cost of unnecessary research, instead dedicating our efforts strictly to actual strategy and litigation.
