Timothy M. "Tim" Smith

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex commercial lease

Our company faced a daunting negotiation for a long-term commercial lease in Boston's Seaport District. The terms presented by the landlord were heavily one-sided, with hidden escalation clauses and ambiguous maintenance responsibilities. We engaged Tim Smith based on a colleague's strong recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Tim's deep knowledge of Massachusetts real estate law, honed over his 17-year career, was immediately evident. He meticulously dissected the 80-page document, explaining the implications of each clause in clear, practical terms. His strategic approach wasn't just about saying 'no'; he crafted intelligent counter-proposals that protected our interests while keeping the deal viable. His recognition in the field of real estate law is well-deserved. Tim’s calm, steady demeanor at the negotiating table was invaluable. The final agreement was fair, secure, and positioned our business for growth. He is more than just an attorney; he is a strategic partner you want in your corner for any significant legal matter.
