Commercial Leasing

 

We represent landlords and tenants in leases for shopping centers, office, flex, warehouse, industrial and mixed-use properties, and in the ground leases underneath them.

 

A lease is a long document that usually turns on a short list of provisions: the work agreement, the operating expense structure, what the tenant may assign, and what either party can do when the other stops performing. That is where we spend the time.

​

Our services include

 

• Letters of intent and lease negotiation

• Ground leases and land unit leases

• Work agreements and delivery conditions

• Operating expense, CAM and tax provisions

• Renewals, expansions and amendments

• Subleases, assignments and change-of-control provisions

• Subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements

• Estoppel certificates

• Lease enforcement and default remedies

• Terminations, buyouts, workouts and restructurings

• Model home and sales office leases

• Industrial outdoor storage and yard leases

• Multi-site and multi-state portfolio management

Our attorneys are admitted in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, and in New York and New Jersey. Where a matter involves property in a state in which we are not admitted — including Delaware and West Virginia — we associate local counsel admitted in that state for the state-specific work, and continue to run the transaction.
