We represent landlords and tenants in the negotiation of commercial leases. Regardless of whether we represent landlords or tenants, we are extremely successful in obtaining favorable lease provisions for our clients. Often, we make our clients aware of issues that they never considered. Our clients thank us at the time of lease negotiation and thank us even more when problems are avoided as a result of our foresight. In negotiating leases, we use the same zealous tenacity whether we represent a “start-up” company looking to lease small office space or a corporation of over 150 employees seeking to lease multiple floors of prime real estate. In the end, our clients benefit greatly from our experience and efforts.

Alex’s “War Story”:
“Not too long ago, I represented a company of over 150 employees in negotiating a lease for an entire floor of prime Manhattan office space. The landlord was one of New York’s top management companies employing one of New York’s top, large real estate law firms. The face-to-face negotiating sessions were almost comical in terms of the number of lawyers used by each side. As the sole representative of my client, I sat on one side of a huge conference room table. No less than five lawyers and several paralegals representing the landlord sat on the other. Fortunately, the number of lawyers does not necessarily determine the outcome of a negotiation. After the lease was signed, one of the landlord’s lawyers admitted to me that the provisions I was able to negotiate on behalf of my client were more favorable than those given to any of their other tenants in any of their numerous buildings.”

Alex’s “War Story”:

“When I worked as a corporate attorney at a large law firm, I represented the biggest private venture capital firm in New York on many deals. Seeing the transaction from the perspective of the venture capital firm gave me important insights into these types of deals. As a small law firm, we are asked more often to represent the company that seeks venture capital. My big firm experience is invaluable in these situations. I know exactly what conditions the venture capital firm can and cannot live without. This translates into the best possible deals for my clients.”
