Leasing

Sidley’s Real Estate practice team represents owners and tenants in structuring, drafting and negotiating all manner of leases and subleases (and master leases), including ground leases, synthetic leases, leveraged leases, build-to-suits and financing leases. We have handled 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 and lease-backs. These transactions often include financing and equity participation arrangements, transfer tax issues and property tax issues. In addition to the more traditional commercial leasing, we have also handled leases for major law firms, major accounting firms, heavy industrial companies, biotech and life science companies and “big box” tenants.
