Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2016
James Anderson
I engaged Corey Light at Greenberg Traurig to assist my small business with negotiating a commercial lease for a new flagship location in Chicago's West Loop. The transaction was complex, involving significant tenant improvement allowances and intricate operating expense clauses. Corey's deep knowledge of Illinois real estate law, honed over nearly a decade of focused practice, was immediately evident. He was able to dissect the landlord's initial proposal, identify several unfavorable terms that were not immediately obvious to us, and negotiate key protections that will save us considerable expense and liability over the ten-year term. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Real Estate Law since 2016 is well-deserved, reflecting the caliber of his strategic advice. Corey is direct, pragmatic, and clearly respected in the local market, which added weight to our negotiations. The one area where our experience could have been slightly smoother was in communication timelines; at times, responses to non-urgent emails took a bit longer than expected, though he was always immediately available for pressing matters. Overall, his expertise from DePaul University J.D. and his firm's resources delivered an excellent outcome. I would confidently recommend him for sophisticated real estate matters.
