Landlord & Real Estate Developer Representation

Our award-winning attorneys operate at the juncture of real estate and bankruptcy, drawing on deep experience and innovative thinking to represent landlords, real estate developers, and institutional investors in high-stakes restructuring and insolvency matters. Whether safeguarding landlord rights in national retail Chapter 11 filings—from JCPenney to Party City—or guiding asset acquisitions through distressed sales, we bring relentless focus, keen market insight, and strategic firepower to every matter.

Our lawyers blend courtroom tenacity with transactional foresight, and we speak both the language of landlords and the dialect of distressed debt. With a practiced eye for risk and reward, we help clients seize value, protect interests, and position themselves for long-term gain. Whether it’s lease negotiation, creditor strategy, or property acquisition out of bankruptcy, we build the foundation for our clients’ next phase of growth.
