Please say why you should be considered for the award
We negotiated hundreds of retail space lease agreements with leading tenants in the CEE region as the representative of both lessees and lessors, hence retail and commercial real estate is the core specialization of our firm. We solve real problems with practical solutions and we do it in fast and in an efficient way. Time is money, and this is why our typical reaction time to new inquiries from a client is immediate hours and no longer than 48 hours. We have practically eliminated legal opinions from our routine – they are reserved only for complex matters, where there is no other possibility to tackle a given issue. Our clients appreciate our straight to the point answers. We know how frustrating it is for the business to receive “it depends” answers, hence we rather give “do or do not” advice. Our lawyers are experts in their field and true professionals, providing comprehensive legal services concerning the whole process of leasing shopping center premises.
