Real Estate

Bartko Pavia has one of the largest and strongest retail leasing practices in the country, representing many well-known tenants in the industry. Unlike most law firms, our primary real estate practice is retail leasing representing retail tenants. Our attorneys are passionate about retail leasing, with over 22 years of experience in retail leasing on average. Most have worked in-house at national retailers, and approach retail leases from a practical in-house point of view with a healthy respect for the retailer’s operational issues and business relationship with the developer. We have developed a sophisticated “one stop shop” to satisfy nearly all of the legal needs of retailers, including commercial litigators who specialize in property management and retail lease dispute resolution. We are also able to provide our retailers real-time insight into what peers and other tenants of leverage are getting in their leases, and assist in leasing strategy.

Bartko Pavia’s real estate practice offers unparalleled expertise across the full spectrum of real estate transactions and disputes. Representing tenants, property owners, developers, and investors nationwide, and worldwide, the firm handles leasing, acquisitions, sales, financing and management of commercial, retail, industrial and residential properties. The team is well-versed in guiding clients on complex issues including environmental assessment analysis. We bring significant experience to diverse transaction types, including drafting and negotiating purchase and construction agreements for corporate headquarters, distribution centers, warehouse facilities, and office projects. We work seamlessly to assist clients with comprehensive due diligence, lease restructuring, operating expense evaluations, and architectural and construction contracts. Whether guiding clients through retail, restaurant, office, or industrial leases or resolving related disputes, Bartko Pavia delivers innovative solutions tailored to the client’s business objectives.
With a distinguished reputation in the industry, Bartko Pavia also provides valuable counsel on space needs, lease extensions and renewals, and strategies to optimize exit opportunities through subleases, assignments, or surrenders.
