COMMERCIAL LEASING
LGP’s commercial leasing practice includes representation of tenants and landlords in lease transactions involving retail space, office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, industrial buildings and other commercial projects. We work with business owners, developers, property owners, and property management companies handling leasing matters for a wide range of uses from office headquarters to restaurants to art galleries and designer clothing stores in Manhattan and Miami. As counsel for landlord or tenant, we provide letter of intent review and feedback, handle lease negotiations, and analyze key lease terms such as proposed rent, lease duration, renewal options, build-out process, pass-through expenses and assignment restrictions to allow our clients to make the correct decision for their operational and business needs. We also assist tenants in reviewing and negotiating commercial property leases and resolving disputes and controversies. If litigation or arbitration becomes necessary in connection with a leasing dispute, we work with our real estate litigation group to advise and assist our clients on the most cost-effective resolution available.
