Retail Lease Attorney — New York
Retail leases for storefronts, liquor stores, and regulated retail. We negotiate the use, signage, and operating provisions that determine whether the business can run.
Negotiation for storefront retail and specialty retail.
Retail liquor lease provisions tied to ABC law.
Use clauses, exclusives, and co-tenancy where applicable.
Use clauses that work
A use clause that is too narrow blocks pivots; one that is too broad gives the landlord recapture leverage. We draft the right middle.
Liquor store specifics
Retail off-premises licenses are tied to specific premises. The lease and license must align.
Frequently asked questions
A protection tied to other tenants remaining in the project. Common in shopping centers.
Landlord right to take the space back on assignment or sublet. We narrow it.
