Tami P. Daniel

Ms. Daniel’s practice focuses on representing landlords and tenants in a full range of commercial leasing transactions to accommodate the interests of her clients in the most efficient and effective manner possible. With over three decades of experience, Ms. Daniel has represented small and large retailers (including many restaurant and other franchisees), business owners, nonprofit institutions, and medical and dental practices in negotiating the best terms for their leases throughout not only Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia but many other states, as well. This tenant representation includes advising when disputes with landlords arise. As a former in-house lead leasing attorney with a large shopping center developer, Ms. Daniel has deep experience in representing owners of retail projects in drafting and negotiating leases with anchor tenants, pad sites and small space retailers, and assisting in tenant default matters.  Among Ms. Daniel’s clients are office building owners and property managers for whom she drafts and negotiates leases with tenants occupying space in office buildings and advices on tenant default issues.

Ms. Daniel’s real estate practice also encompasses drafting and negotiating contracts on behalf of sellers and purchasers involving the transfer of real estate, as well as easement agreements.
