Known for her practical, detail-oriented approach, Joan provides experienced, partner-level counsel and works closely with clients to deliver thoughtful, efficient solutions without unnecessary complexity. Her practice centers on anticipating and addressing the unique challenges that arise in commercial leasing transactions, where no two deals are alike. She regularly addresses evolving and novel lease provisions, helping clients navigate risk, protect long-term business objectives, and efficiently close transactions.
She advises institutional and privately held landlords on the structuring, drafting, and negotiation of complex lease agreements across a wide range of asset classes, including transactions involving federal, state, and local government tenants. She also represents tenants in strategic leasing matters, including national retail expansions, guiding clients through site-specific negotiations and varying landlord requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
In addition to lease negotiations, Joan advises clients on property management and operational matters, as well as related commercial documentation that supports ongoing real estate portfolios.
