  • In the current economy, a real estate attorney needs to be familiar with more than the standard lease. Shared office space, food halls, and pop-up stores represent the “new age” of office and retail leasing. As the catch phrase goes, “we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Whether representing a
    landlord or a tenant, the savvy real estate attorney needs to have a keen awareness of novel issues involved in negotiating these “new age” leases. Shared workspace agreements can seem more like a hybrid license — dealing with both real estate and technology components. The “co-working” explosion requires a transformation of the standard office lease to give the provider flexibility to successfully operate a shared office space. Food hall agreements have unique issues which relate to the permanency and fluidity of location as well as to the mix of well-curated vendors. Pop-up stores can be a great way for landlords to generate rent from empty retail space and also provide retailers with a means to create a buzz and to quickly and economically try a new concept or location and no matter what the use, the lease has to reflect a business deal that is consistent with the retail real estate realities of 2018 and beyond.

    This CLE panel will discuss each of these growth areas and provide guidance as to issues that distinguish it from negotiating a standard lease. The program will provide practical drafting and negotiating techniques from both the landlord’s and tenant’s point of view. This program is a must for anyone who practices real estate law and wants to be current with the new trends and realities of leasing.
