Retail

Our Retail Services Team works closely with our real estate attorneys in serving clients in the retail industry, as well as clients whose clients and customers are retailers. We represent clients in developing and acquiring properties, obtaining necessary entitlements and zoning approvals, resolving environmental issues, negotiating leases, and negotiating project financing. We are experienced in working with retailers in analyzing the impact of store openings or closings on a retail chain.

Although real estate related issues are our most frequent involvement in this industry, our employment law attorneys are also active in the retail industry, which is very labor intensive.  Our transactional attorneys frequently work with our industry specialists in the sale or acquisition of retail companies, as well as with regard to outsourcing agreements.
We are experienced in working with the following kinds of retailers:

  • Discounters
  • Specialty retailers
  • Convenience stores
  • Supermarkets
  • Restaurant chains
  • Entertainment chains

Our Retail Services Team often assists our Restructuring team.  They are often involved in many of Florida’s most complex consensual workouts and bankruptcies of retail related entities.  These teams also assist investors considering investments in distressed retail projects or companies.

We are especially proud of our professional relationships with leading industry consultants, investment bankers, lenders and other attorneys specializing in serving the retail sector.
