Polsinelli’s Real Estate Leasing attorneys advise both landlords and tenants throughout the country in structuring, negotiating and documenting leases across all asset classes, bringing the same level of sophistication to single-site agreements as we do to multi-state portfolio strategies.

Beyond traditional real estate companies, we serve as primary outside counsel to businesses that manage extensive leased and owned portfolios, including corporate headquarters, retail footprints, data processing centers, health care centers and specialized facilities. We know from experience the unique pressures different industries face — and we tailor our legal strategies to align with business objectives.

Business-Driven Leasing Strategies Aligned with Long-Term Value

Every lease is both a legal document and a business transaction. For our real estate attorneys, this means we craft solutions to deliver favorable terms now, while safeguarding long-term interests for the future. Our work spans build-to-suit agreements, leasing reorganizations and renegotiations, timeshare and space-sharing arrangements and portfolio leasing programs.
