Leasing
Sheley, Hall & Williams was originally founded as a boutique firm providing leasing services for commercial owners. A substantial portion of our practice remains dedicated to commercial leasing, primarily representing landlords, but we have significantly expanded our leasing practice to provide legal services to corporate and entrepreneurial tenants, particularly end-user corporate tenants.
Sheley, Hall & Williams handles sophisticated leasing transactions across the country for a wide variety of real estate including:

Our client list includes developers, insurance companies, pension funds, REITs, private investment companies, real estate development firms, as well as corporate clients engaging in every type of office, retail, and industrial lease transaction. We also represent sublandlords and subtenants, and assignors and assignees.
By way of example, we represent Hines, one of the nation’s largest privately owned, international real estate firms with over $75 billion dollars in assets under its control. Sheley, Hall & Williams negotiates and finalizes leasing transactions for Hines with respect to several million square feet of office space in projects throughout the Southeast. Another Sheley, Hall & Williams leasing client, GE Asset Management, is among the largest global asset managers with several million square feet of office projects in the Southeast. We also represent UBS Realty Investors, one of the world’s largest and most diversified commercial real estate investors with millions of square feet of office projects in multiple states. Another large leasing client, whom we have represented for over 17 years, is The Brookdale Group, a privately held commercial real estate private equity firm with millions of square feet of office projects under asset management.
Leasing work for these and other clients has been, and continues to be, a vital component of our practice. We understand the economic and financial impact of each lease transaction on the value of our clients’ assets and their long-term business strategies. Our success in this area has resulted in strong relationships with our long-standing clients, with new projects added every year, and our reputation as industry leaders in the area of commercial leasing means that new clients primarily come to us through referrals.
Representative leasing transactions over the past several years include:
