Eric R. Landau

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex commercial lease

Our company faced a daunting negotiation for a flagship retail space in Manhattan, a deal with multiple layers of financial and operational complexity. We engaged Eric Landau at Paul Hastings based on his long-standing recognition in real estate law, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, Eric’s deep expertise, honed over more than a decade of practice, was evident. He didn't just review clauses; he anticipated potential pitfalls in property use, maintenance responsibilities, and renewal options that we hadn't even considered. His guidance was both strategic and practical, clearly explaining the implications of each term without resorting to impenetrable legalese. What truly set him apart was his calm, measured approach under pressure. When the other party introduced last-minute, onerous demands, Eric navigated the situation with firm professionalism, securing protections that preserved our financial interests and operational flexibility. The final agreement was not only favorable but also a robust document that will serve us for years. Eric’s service was exceptional from start to finish—responsive, insightful, and utterly dedicated to achieving our business objectives. He is exactly the kind of attorney you want in your corner for high-stakes New York real estate matters.
