A Legacy of Business and Real Estate Excellence
DURRETT LANG MORSE, LLLP is one of Hawaii’s most respected business law firms, with a history of service dating back to 1974. Located in the financial heart of Honolulu, the firm has built a reputation for providing sophisticated legal counsel to the islands’ business community. The partners-including Jonathan Durrett, Adam Lang, and Kalani Morse-bring decades of combined experience in high-stakes litigation and complex transactions. Unlike firms that try to be everything to everyone, Durrett Lang Morse focuses intensely on the needs of businesses, landowners, and developers. They understand the unique economic and cultural landscape of Hawaii, allowing them to navigate local regulations and land use issues with a precision that national firms often lack.
Real Estate and Commercial Law
The firm is a powerhouse in real estate law, handling some of the most complex property matters in the state. Their expertise includes:
- Commercial Real Estate: Advising on the acquisition, sale, and development of hotels, resorts, and commercial centers. They handle everything from due diligence to closing.
- Land Use and Entitlements: Guiding developers through the often arduous process of zoning changes, permitting, and environmental compliance in Hawaii.
- Business Litigation: Representing companies in contract disputes, partnership breakups, and shareholder actions. Their trial team is known for being aggressive and strategic.
- Construction Law: Assisting contractors and owners with contract drafting, mechanic’s liens, and defect litigation.
Labor and Corporate Services
Beyond real estate, the firm serves as general counsel for many local businesses, helping them with entity formation, corporate governance, and employment law issues. They advise employers on compliance with state and federal labor laws, helping to prevent lawsuits before they start. The attorneys at Durrett Lang Morse are not just legal technicians; they are trusted advisors who help their clients grow and protect their enterprises in a competitive market.
