Commercial Leasing Practice
Abrams Fensterman, LLP represents commercial landlords and tenants in the negotiation, drafting, and review of lease agreements across New York. With the addition of Rachelle Rosenberg, Elliot Steinmetz, and their team from Rosenberg & Steinmetz PC, the firm has expanded its leasing capabilities by combining sophisticated transactional experience with deep, litigation-informed insight.
Our attorneys advise clients on leasing matters involving office, industrial, retail, restaurant, and other commercial properties. We approach each lease with a practical understanding of how provisions operate in real-world disputes, allowing us to structure agreements that maximize value, preserve rights, and reduce the risk of future conflict.
A key strength of our leasing practice is the integration of litigation experience into the transaction process. The Rosenberg & Steinmetz team brings extensive experience representing both landlords and tenants in lease disputes, including non-payment proceedings, holdover matters, and other commercial landlord-tenant litigation. That experience informs how we negotiate and draft leases, helping clients anticipate issues and avoid costly disputes down the line.
Abrams Fensterman advises clients throughout the full lease lifecycle, from initial negotiations and letters of intent through lease execution, amendments, extensions, and restructurings. We regularly negotiate core economic and operational terms, including rent structures, operating expenses, use provisions, assignment and subletting rights, construction and alteration obligations, guaranties, insurance, defaults, and remedies.
