2015 Year in Review - C. Jaye Berger

What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or professional achievement in 2015? My most significant transaction was drafting a series of retail leases for a client. They are long-term leases, which means what we put in place in 2015 will have a lasting impact in years to come. That is a satisfying feeling. They each also involve renovation work, so the “look” of them will have a lasting effect on the neighborhood. Retail store leasing is robust and will continue. As an attorney who is knowledgeable in both leases and the construction aspect of those leases, these are “fun” assignments. I enjoy helping the parties negotiate all the contracts to ensure a successful outcome and I look forward to working on more of them in 2016.
