Christina D. Fernandez

Exceptional Guidance Through a Complex Commercial Lease

I engaged Christina Fernandez at Gibson Dunn to assist my company with negotiating a significant commercial lease for our new flagship office in Manhattan. Despite her relatively few years of practice, her command of New York real estate law was immediately apparent and proved to be a decisive asset. She meticulously dissected the landlord's initial proposal, identifying several onerous clauses related to operating expense pass-throughs and continuous operation covenants that could have created substantial long-term liability. Her advice was not only legally sound but also strategically sharp, focusing on practical business protections. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Real Estate Law is well-deserved, reflecting a depth of knowledge that belies her tenure. Christina was exceptionally responsive, explained complex terms in clear language, and negotiated a final agreement that our CFO praised as exceptionally favorable. She is a formidable and highly professional advocate who delivers outstanding results.
