As a small business owner looking to secure a flagship retail space in Manhattan, the lease negotiations were daunting. The landlord's counsel presented a dense, 80-page document filled with onerous clauses. I engaged Sheldon Chanales at Herrick, Feinstein based on his recognition in real estate law, and it was the best decision I could have made. Sheldon’s deep expertise, honed over a distinguished career since his Harvard J.D., was immediately apparent. He didn't just review the lease; he provided a strategic, commercial-minded breakdown, clearly explaining the long-term implications of each provision, from CAM charges to relocation clauses. His negotiation was firm yet pragmatic, securing critical concessions on rent escalations and exclusivity terms that protect our business model. What impressed me most was his ability to distill complex legal jargon into actionable business advice, making me feel like a true partner in the process. The transaction closed smoothly, and we have a solid, protective lease as our foundation. Sheldon’s professionalism, foresight, and recognized skill in New York real estate law are absolutely top-tier. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
