Sui Generis: Collaborate Like You Mean It

By Lydia Pilch
May 01, 2024

Ok, so maybe I have some opinions about some things. This article is the third instalment in this series — as a follow-up to Draft Like You Mean It and Negotiate Like You Mean It and offers an experiential and anecdotally based discussion about how lawyers work with other advisory professionals in connection with their collective commercial leasing activities.

When I say "collective" it really is just that: a unified effort and cooperative enterprise that requires professionals from different sectors within the commercial leasing/real estate arena to address a common matter. This article offers up some thoughts about how lawyers ought to access and manage those resources in order to provide a multi-faceted, full-service approach to addressing their clients' needs. Sounds like a fun networking exercise, right?

Well, it certainly can and should be. But as with all coordinated activities, sometimes the intra-relationship element — the individuals involved — is just as important (if not more important) than the substantive legal and business matters to be addressed.
