Although Bern & Associates’ commitment is to provide proactive legal counsel to mitigate disputes, the firm also advises on lease disputes, workouts, buyouts, and defaults. We have resolved claims ranging from unreasonable restrictions to breach of lease, failure to pay rent, force majeure, and unreasonable refusal to allow subleases. The firm has also been involved in claims on the failure to maintain property, actual property damage, and violation of rights by neighboring property owners/tenants, among others.

What we provide: 

We have experience in the private sector and government leasing transactions. We structure, negotiate, and document transactions that include ground leases, municipal and commercial facilities, shopping centers, retail pads, and other commercial properties.
