SSL represents both owners and occupiers of commercial real estate in leasing transactions on a national basis, with a practice that spans the full spectrum of lease types and property categories. Our clients include major real estate investment firms, REITs, institutional landlords, Fortune 500 companies, and growing technology and life-science tenants. We bring deep market knowledge and high-volume deal experience across office, industrial, R&D, retail, and mixed-use space allowing us not only to draft and negotiate agreements, but to offer practical insight into current market conditions, deal structuring, and risk allocation that helps clients make better decisions at every stage of a transaction.
A distinguishing feature of our leasing practice is our investment in client-specific infrastructure. We develop custom lease forms and “lease handbooks” – curated sets of acceptable compromise positions tailored to each client’s business priorities and standard operating procedures. Combined with our extensive database of lease forms and alternative clause language, this enables us to deliver efficient, high-quality representation that scales with a client’s portfolio and keeps pace with rapidly evolving market standards.
Beyond transactional leasing, our attorneys support clients across the full range of ongoing asset management needs including property management agreements, construction and tenant improvement oversight, brokerage and vendor contracts, and lease administration. When disputes arise, SSL’s real estate litigators and environmental attorneys are integrated into our practice and available to handle landlord-tenant disputes, unlawful detainer actions, lease enforcement, and related land use and environmental matters, with a focus on early resolution, risk mitigation, and preserving asset value.
