Sidley’s Real Estate practice represents landlords and tenants in structuring, drafting and negotiating a variety of leases and subleases. We have represented clients on leases for office buildings, industrial facilities, corporate headquarters, department stores, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, shopping centers, restaurants, other retail leases (including theater leases) and a variety of other commercial lease transactions. These transactions often include related issues, including financing and equity participation arrangements, guaranties, transfer tax issues and property tax issues. In addition to the more traditional commercial leasing, we have also negotiated credit-tenant leases, build-to-suit leases, sale-leasebacks, master leases and ground leases for our clients.
