About

I assist retail landlords in tenant bankruptcies. I also collect rent, negotiates and drafts lease documents, and help with the purchase and sale of real property. I represent a wide variety of industries, including cannabis in the leasing, sale, and purchase of real estate.My practical, responsive, and efficient approach is appreciated by clients whether I am litigating or negotiating real estate documents. I have significant experience in creditor’s rights, real estate litigation, real estate transactions, cannabis, and general business matters, and often spend my days in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts.Shopping center landlords rely on my expertise in bankruptcy proceedings around the country to protect their rights by ensuring debtor compliance with leases and the bankruptcy code in connection with debtor-in-possession financing, lease auctions, asset sales, lease assumption and assignment, Chapter 11 reorganization plans, and in defending claim objections  My work often relates to the assignment and assumption of leases, going out of business sales, the purchase of assets, proof of claim preparation, defense of objections to claims, including administrative expense claims, and the defense of pre-petition preference claims.I am one of a small number of lawyers specialized in representing landlords in Chapter 11 bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy workouts across the country, and has been engaged by numerous landlords in high profile cases such as: J.C. Penney, Tailored Brands, GNC, Ascena, Toys R Us, Pier 1, Chuck E. Cheese’s, Sears, Claire's, The Sports Authority, Aeropostale, Eddie Bauer, Linens 'n Things, Circuit City, Blockbuster, Gymboree, Movie Gallery, Borders, Max & Erma’s, Old Country Buffet, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, MC Sports, Radio Shack, Pac Sun, and Wet Seal.
