Comprehensive Leasing Counsel from Coast-to-Coast

Sheppard represents property owners, corporate tenants, lenders and investors in all forms of commercial leasing. 

Our team negotiates and documents office, industrial, retail, hospitality, healthcare and mixed-use leases. We structure sophisticated agreements, including ground leases, master leases, subleases and build-to-suit arrangements. A key focus of our practice is structuring complex sale-leaseback transactions, which we manage for clients ranging from public REITs to private corporations as a core component of their financing and operational strategies. 

We handle everything from single-location leases to national and regional leasing programs. Clients turn to us for our ability to balance business objectives with legal precision, whether representing a landlord with a diverse portfolio or a corporate tenant with sophisticated space needs. Our lawyers understand that no two leases are alike. We tailor each negotiation to reflect current market conditions, operational priorities and long-term asset strategy.
