COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL & RETAIL LEASING

Most commercial leases are complex, have numerous requirements and are specifically customized to fit the landlord ‘s and tenant’s needs and wants. At GD&C, we take pride committing ourselves to understand your specific situation, needs and wants, and pursuing an operating lease, build-to-suite lease, ground lease, or sublease that achieves your goals.
As landlord leasing counsel, we advise on every aspect of a property’s operation.
For tenants, we advocate on commercial property leases, draft letters of intent, and assist in deft resolution of disputes.
When entering into a lease, both parties want to avoid future disagreement and confusion. We take a personalized, detail-oriented approach for our client’s benefit, and draft leases that articulate each party’s obligations, including what happens when problems arise.
