- lawyers with commercial leasing experience
Commercial leasing is a discipline that demands more than familiarity with property law. Practitioners work at the intersection of landlord and tenant strategy, lease structuring, rent review, alienation, and the granular negotiation of repairing obligations — work that exposes counsel to the operational realities of retailers, logistics operators, and institutional landlords in ways that broader real estate experience rarely does.
We have mapped 5,000+ lawyers with demonstrated commercial leasing experience across the full spectrum: partners who lead anchor-tenant transactions for major mixed-use schemes, associates who handle high-volume portfolio work for corporate occupiers, and in-house counsel embedded within asset management teams. The market is narrower than it appears — genuine leasing depth concentrates in fewer practitioners than hiring teams often expect.
Our search work is built on that map. When a firm needs a lawyer who can step into complex lease renegotiations or drive an occupier's national rollout programme from day one, we identify and approach the people who are already doing that work, not those who have touched it peripherally.

How do you find commercial leasing lawyers who are not actively job-seeking?
Most strong leasing practitioners are not on job boards. We maintain a continuously refreshed map of 5,000+ lawyers with commercial leasing experience, built through direct relationship work rather than reactive sourcing. That means we can identify and approach the right candidates discreetly, without waiting for them to surface.
How many live commercial leasing roles does Sartori & Partners have?
We have 735 live commercial leasing roles across our coverage, spanning 346 partner-level and 389 associate or counsel positions. Mandates in this area are typically confidential and off-market — these are only the roles we are actively able to share. Contact us to discuss what else is live.
What compensation do commercial leasing roles typically offer?
Based on current live mandates, commercial leasing role compensation in the US runs $100k–$550k. This reflects only the roles where the hiring organisation has authorised us to share a range publicly — many mandates are structured around the right candidate rather than a fixed band.
