Leasing
At McKenna Long & Aldridge (MLA), our client relationships offer us the privilege of representing both landlords and tenants in connection with commercial leases of all types, and we are adept at addressing the nuances that arise from both the landlord and tenant perspectives. We are also mindful of the inherent time constraints that frequently surround leasing transactions, and we have the capacity and commitment to provide the quality of service required to accomplish our clients’ business objectives in a cost effective and time efficient manner.
We have represented a broad range of both property owners and managers — from large real estate funds to single asset holders and tenants, from retailers with hundreds of locations to multi-site commercial/industrial operations and single location commercial/industrial and retail tenants. We have represented both landlords and tenants in hundreds of lease negotiations involving millions of square feet of retail, office, industrial, medical, entertainment, and other commercial space across the U.S. Currently, we serve as lead counsel to a major international retailer in a multi-state site leasing and acquisition program for a new concept retail chain, with more than 100 stores already opened.
Today’s marketplace and economic uncertainty bring new complexities affecting both landlords and tenants, and we are prepared for those challenges and equipped to handle the myriad issues that can arise, such as commercial tenant or landlord bankruptcies, lease restructurings, co-tenancy clauses, as well as the impact of environmental regulations and the presence of hazardous materials.
