In particular, he counsels developers and owners in connection with acquisitions and dispositions (one-off and portfolio transactions), as well as commercial development, leasing and finance matters.

David has widespread experience serving the retail industry, and Chambers USA calls him New York retail's "key contact." He frequently represents non-U.S. retailers with their expansions into North America, and he represents all kinds of retailers and owners in connection with the acquisition, sale and leasing of retail and mixed-use properties, lease restructurings, condominium developments (retail and mixed-use), the acquisition and sale of real estate assets (fee estates and leasehold interests in retail properties) out of bankruptcy, and counseling clients on lease issues (such as exclusives, radius restrictions, assignment/subletting and “going dark”) in anticipation of and during a lease dispute. His retail clients include some of the nation's largest “big box” retailers and shopping center developers.
