Virtually all businesses and properties need assistance with leases. Steeg Law has handled a wide range of leases, large and small, for very many different uses.

We have represented landowners and tenants in the Greater New Orleans area and throughout Louisiana, including in Jefferson Parish and St. Tammany Parish, in long term ground leases and leases for space in office, commercial, retail, multi-family, and industrial buildings.

Ground leases involve particular complications with respect to financing, as the interests of the landowner, the tenant, and the lender all must be balanced and negotiated.

Most businesses rent the space for their operation, whether for retail, industrial, office or general commercial use. We regularly represent both tenants and landlords in these transactions, for both small and large premises.

Leases are long-term relationships, and the lease must anticipate issues that could arise years in the future, so that the lease can be a clear guide to how those issues are resolved. This process requires years of experience, which many of our leasing attorneys bring to this process.
