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.
