Walter D. Cupkovic, Chairman of Thompson Coburn Fagel Haber’s Real Estate and Real Estate Tax Assessment Departments, will speak on Negotiating Key Lease Provisions on September 17, 2007, at Law Seminars International’s Second Annual Advanced Conference on Commercial Real Estate Leases.

This two-day conference will take place on September 17 and 18 at The Gleacher Center, 450 North Cityfront Plaza Drive, Chicago, Illinois. This seminar will provide insightful, practical information useful to real estate lawyers, brokers, lenders, landlords and tenants in negotiating and enforcing commercial leases. Basic concepts are explained to assure that those with less experience are not left behind, but the panel discussion and presentations quickly extend into more sophisticated nuances, often providing specific suggestions for lease provisions and ways to handle particular issues that frequently arise in negotiations and during the tenancy. The use of examples allows participants to apply the concepts to real world situations, based on the knowledge of experienced real estate lawyers, leasing agents, and other professionals in this area.
