Prior to establishing Landlord Counsel LLC in 2002, Chan Stroman

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. |
