Hi everyone. I am a retired attorney with a law degree from UCLA. As it seems I will be stuck at home for some weeks or months to come, I would like to spend some time making Wikipedia a more reliable and interesting resource. I spent 20 years negotiating and drafting leases for commercial tenants, primary for retailers such as bookstores, clothing stores, and restaurants.I have written on the subject, and I have a particular expertise in understanding and explaining the various types of retail settings(freestanding, strip mall, regional enclosed shopping center, resort, office building, mixed use residential, office and retail, medical buildings, etc.) and the specific leasing concern in each setting. I do find the whole process a bit daunting, and I am hopeful someone will have some ideas on where to begin.Fscottal (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
