Leasing 

Ulmer & Berne serves as leasing counsel to a wide variety of retail, office and other commercial landlords and tenants across the country. We provide targeted advice based on practical, real world requirements.  At the same time, our goal is to provide our clients with exceptional service: to get it done right, faster and easier than expected, and in a cost effective manner.

Retail clients include Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio; Zona Rosa Shopping Center in Kansas City, Missouri;  Bayshore Town Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; The Greene in Dayton, Ohio; Jo-Ann Stores, Inc.; Office Depot, Inc.; Yum! Brands, a large franchisee with KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, A&W and Long John Silver's brands.  We also represent several downtown and suburban office landlords and tenants, as well as landlords and tenants of other commercial projects.

Since we represent both landlords and tenants, we understand each side’s legitimate concerns. Therefore, we can speak with authority on how the other party to a lease looks at issues and propose solutions which we know will work. And, because we have represented landlords and tenants in lease disputes, we know how to craft solutions during lease negotiations that will provide the appropriate level of protection later.  We are committed to providing incredibly quick turnaround times and responses, superior technical work, continuous up-to-date status reports, fixed fee arrangements where desired, and solutions — not problems.
