Client Objectives

Established Midtown-based law firm found themselves in the market for the first time in 20 years. The law firm they had shared space with was in growth mode and was taking back the space that they had sublet. With some of the partners near retirement there was little appetite for a long term lease or spending money on the upfront costs associated with a newly built space namely furniture and wiring. The partners lived in Westchester and their clients came in from the Tri-State area so being located near Grand Central was crucial.

It is rare that I take it upon myself to write a letter of recommendation, but when I come across someone who thoroughly impresses me with his effectiveness, knowledge and professionalism, I offered to do so. He educated us as to the marketplace, presented numerous opportunities and narrowed them down according to our needs and he effectively negotiated to obtain an acceptable rent for us.
