STARK & STARK’S THOMAS S. ONDER TO CO-CHAIR PANEL ON NEGOTIATING RETAIL LEASES AT ICSC NEXT GENERATION CONFERENCE

By Leslie Wells
Stark & Stark, a prominent law firm with offices in New Jersey, New York and eastern Pennsylvania, announced that firm shareholder Thomas S. Onder will be co-chairing a panel discussion on the legal challenges and negotiation strategies within retail leasing at the ICSC Next Generation National Conference. The event will be held July 27-29, 2014 at the Westin Philadelphia.
Mr. Onder will be co-chairing a panel discussion titled "Jumping Legal Hurdles n Avoiding Pitfalls and the Most Effective Ways to Negotiate and Get Your Deal Done”, which will be held from 2:30 to 3:45 pm on July 28.
“Now that the economy has turned for the better, there are great opportunities to get leases signed and new tenants operating,” says Mr. Onder. “However, since there are a number of issues that can arise during the negotiating process, it’s crucial to have a legal strategy that addresses these concerns with tact and finesse so that you can efficiently move ahead to a signed deal.”
This seminar will focus on how to overcome the biggest legal hurdles in getting leases signed. Topics will include:
• Build-out responsibilities, allowances, co-tenancy, guarantees, restrictive areas, options, and assignments;
• Legal issues that can arise from carelessly drafted lease; how to negotiate those items during the LOI stage and/or at lease; and
• Strategies for effective negotiating and ways to maximize rights in the leases.
Tom Onder is a Shareholder and member of the Commercial, Retail and Industrial Real Estate Group of Stark & Stark. Mr. Onder concentrates his practice in the area of commercial litigation, specializing in commercial landlord disputes and secured transactions before state and federal courts in New York and New Jersey, as well as the Federal Claims Court in Washington D.C. Mr. Onder earned his J.D. from Brooklyn Law School.
As a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers, Mr. Onder serves as the Co-Chair of the ICSC NexGen NJ/PA/DE Region, and is a Program Planning Committee Person for the National Next Gen Conference.
