Cory Sherman recently sat down with Retail Insider to discuss the growth of the commercial leasing team at Cassels.
Cory discussed his decision to move to Cassels, the firm’s long history and solid reputation in real estate law, the work to build a national team with sector depth, the importance of this specialization for retailers, the work to train the next generation to serve retail clients, the importance of understanding negotiations, and the future possibilities for retailers in Canada.
Writes Craig Patterson: “Canada’s retail landscape continues to evolve … retailers need legal partners who can operate at speed, protect downside risk, and preserve relationships with landlords who may be partners on future locations as well. Cassels has positioned itself for that reality. The firm’s history in real estate and development, combined with targeted recruitment and a mentorship engine, has yielded a [commercial leasing] team that understands both the business and the law of opening doors.”
