Otten Johnson represents shopping center landlords and tenants, developers, managers, investors, lenders, and local, regional, and national retailers. We have assisted in all phases of development, redevelopment, and leasing for large retail centers, malls, outlet centers, power centers, large-format single and multiple user sites, and mixed-use projects throughout North America. We also counsel franchisors and franchisees on franchise agreements, real estate site control, and operational compliance.
Our work spans leasing for both landlords and tenants, site selection, land use planning and zoning, acquisition and construction financing, ground leases, and reciprocal easement agreements. Our litigation group handles landlord-tenant disputes, commercial evictions, UCC foreclosures, and bankruptcy matters. Our corporate attorneys assist with entity formation, tax, and structuring.
