Expert Guidance on a Complex Commercial Lease

We engaged Kent Newsome to negotiate a high-stakes commercial lease for our expanding Austin-based tech company. His 22 years of real estate law experience, particularly his recognized focus on commercial matters, was immediately apparent. Kent from Greenberg Traurig didn't just review the document; he provided a strategic analysis of the business implications, identifying several potential pitfalls we had missed. His deep knowledge of the Austin market and his calm, professional demeanor were invaluable during tense negotiations. The final agreement was far more favorable and protective of our interests. Kent’s blend of sharp legal expertise and practical business acumen delivered an outstanding outcome. I recommend him without reservation.
