Helping Businesses Recover After the Riots

Clint Cutler, Leah Janus and David Streier

Family-owned Elite Cleaners has operated in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis since 1992 and had built a very successful business when it suffered significant damage and was forced to close during the summer of 2020 due to the civil unrest in Minneapolis.

Clint Cutler helped the owners understand their rights and obligations under their lease while the business was shut down and in negotiations with their landlord.

In addition, Leah Janus assisted the owners with insurance matters immediately after the unrest. The team also helped the owners extend the lease while they investigated their option to purchase the building, which they have decided to pursue.

David Streier is assisting with the purchase and a license agreement that will allow the company to continue to grow and serve its community. When the business reopened, its owners placed a sign in the front window to publicly thank those who helped it survive.
