Landlords & Tenants

Trusted counsel to global real estate owners and occupiers on the full spectrum of landlord and tenant matters

Whether leasing a new headquarters, renting a retail space, looking to improve returns from an existing portfolio, or dealing with dilapidations and rent reviews, our real estate lawyers work with clients to find the solutions that best match their needs and aspirations.

With deep market knowledge and experience in occupational property, our Real Estate team advises clients on all aspects of their property portfolio needs – from major acquisitions and dispositions to strategic head office relocations, leasing, subletting, and litigation claims.

We have represented clients in negotiating real estate leases of varying sizes, all with different degrees of complexity and nuance. Our experience with real estate leases includes built-to-suit and custom-designed office and manufacturing facilities; industrial, office, and retail ground leases; long-term leases for sports and entertainment arenas; and leases for energy and natural resources facilities.

For an owner, leasing is the heart of profitability. For a tenant, a lease is a commitment that affects the future of any business. Our experienced team will help all parties involved in landlord-tenant relationships reach the agreements needed for mutual success.
