Corporate and Transactional
Our corporate clients—from startups to market leaders in a wide variety of industries—rely on us for all of their real estate needs. We are experienced in restructuring off-balance-sheet leasing and financing transactions. We also provide a full complement of leasing, construction and development services. Selected transactions include:
- In the current challenging environment, counseling many companies on space rationalization projects, including lease buyouts, challenges to the validity of leases, assignment and subleasing, prospective bankruptcy filings and Section 363 sales.
- Representing one of the world’s largest pharmaceuticals companies in its real estate transactions when it shifted its research headquarters from Europe to the United States where it created 1,500,000 s.f. of laboratory space. We counseled the company on leasing, acquisitions, operating permits for its scientific operations, architects and construction contracts, and complex environmental issues.
- Advising numerous corporate clients on national and international leasing programs. For these representations we often develop form leases, which meet the client’s needs, engage local counsel on an as-needed basis and achieve efficiencies by centralizing negotiations.
- Representing a large retailer in acquisition, construction and development of highly automated multi-state distribution centers in Southern California, Maryland and Connecticut.
- Representing a publicly-traded Internet service company in its real estate leasing throughout the United States and Europe. We have represented the company on the lease of over 200,000 s.f. for its headquarters and in other leasing matters in New York, Virginia, California and elsewhere.
