Federman is a widely recognized leader in the representation of tenants in the negotiation of retail leases throughout the United States. Our firm has represented local, regional and national tenants leasing retail space in all types of developments, including regional malls, power centers, entertainment/lifestyle centers, community shopping centers, neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use projects.

Representation Across Diverse Retail Sectors

Our retail tenant client base includes an array of businesses representing a variety of retail sectors, from regional retailers and restaurateurs to national educational service providers, spa and fitness companies, recreation centers and entertainment providers. We represent businesses of different sizes, with distinct needs and unique goals, using our diversified retail leasing experience to help our clients establish successful retail locations. 

Strategic Guidance Through Retail Market Shifts

When the national retail landscape shifts (or centers in which the locations are a part face challenges), we assist our clients in negotiating sensible resolutions and lease restructurings with landlords that meet the short term and long-term goals of landlords, tenants and their respective lenders.
