Prior to establishing Landlord Counsel LLC in 2002, Chan Stroman served as general counsel of a national real estate company, where she performed and supervised the negotiation and documentation of lease transactions for the company’s national portfolio, oversaw the company’s lease administration function, worked at the executive level in designing and implementing the company’s conversion to a new property management and lease administration software system, and provided ongoing legal advice to the company’s property and asset managers.

Chan Stroman has represented clients in hundreds of lease transactions, covering the full range of commercial real estate property types, including office, retail, mixed-use and industrial. Her first-hand familiarity with commercial real estate leasing, construction and property management processes and systems enables the creation of legal documents that can be integrated, practically and functionally, into the operational areas in which they will be used. She has worked in lease transactions for Class A commercial properties located nationwide, including metropolitan areas of the West and East coasts and the Midwest, Southeast and Southwest regions of the United States. Her experience in lease transactions has spanned the gamut of the real estate cycle, including “up” markets and “down” markets. She has represented landlords across the table from national and international tenants, and represented tenants across the table from national and institutional landlords.

Chan Stroman guides her practice by her Client Service Principles, based first and foremost on the rule that her clients merit the same level of excellence in service from their attorney that she would want and expect to receive as a client.
