We focus a significant portion of our practice on commercial leasing. Our depth of experience includes negotiating leases with national “big box” retail tenants, high-end boutique users, chef-driven restaurants and free standing outparcel users. We are active with the International Council of Shopping Centers, and stay at the forefront of today’s ever-changing commercial real estate environment.
