A woman of influence and nationally recognized commercial real estate lawyer, Nina Roket crafts industry-leading leasing, property transfer and finance transactions for well-known properties, their owners, developers, investors and tenants. She co-chairs Olshan’s Real Estate Law Practice and chairs the firm’s Commercial Leasing Practice.

Nina advises clients in sophisticated commercial real estate deals, including leasing of major real estate projects, and property acquisitions, sales, financings, and development across the nation.

She acts as landlord’s counsel at numerous office buildings in Midtown and Downtown New York City and represents tenants across industries from new and emerging companies to well-established brands. Fashion companies, hedge funds, sports and entertainment companies, technology companies, medical institutions, startups and finance companies all seek her counsel in leasing headquarters space. She represents both landlords and tenants in flexible workspace leases, sale-leasebacks, management agreements, and structured revenue-sharing deals. She also represents and advises owners, tenants, and borrowers in lease and loan-restructurings.

In the retail arena, Nina manages complex leasing projects for numerous developers and owners of significant, high-profile retail sites across the U.S., including in New York, Miami Beach, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, and Atlantic City.

She also represents owners and food and restaurant operators in food and beverage and restaurant leases.

Nina negotiates hotel acquisitions, sales, finance deals, and leases.

In addition, Nina represents both owners and nonprofit organizations in connection with the creation of leasehold condominiums and long-term leases.

From the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets corporate headquarters lease to real estate developer David Edelstein’s lease and collaboration with renowned restaurateurs Stephen Starr and Keith McNally, which brought New York City Meatpacking District hotspot Pastis to the trendy Wynwood arts area in Miami, and Foot Locker’s flagship megastore lease deal, which won 2016 “Retail Deal of the Year” recognition from The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), Nina brings exceptional skill in negotiating and closing large-scale, complex commercial property deals across the nation.

Nina knows the markets and, as a skilled and effective negotiator, she knows what’s important to secure. She offers practical guidance and alternative solutions based on her clients’ business needs and objectives. She understands the various parties’ perspectives and sticking points in structuring and negotiating leases, purchases and sales of commercial real estate. With that knowledge, she finds creative and effective solutions that keep tempers in check and get deals done when they should.
