We are adept with various lease forms and hot-button issues for an ever-expanding list of regional, national and international tenants and landlords. Retail saw a decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we successfully navigated issues of force majeure, supply chain constraints for build-outs of leased space, and related lease disputes and litigation. Now, as we face a rebound in the retail space, we are well-positioned to guide clients and minimize future risks.

Our leasing experience includes:

• Negotiating space leases
• Build-to-suit leases
• Financeable ground leases
• Subleases
• Sale-leaseback transactions

Representative Matters
