Retaillaw.com is the product of Robert A. Machson & Associates, a law firm with more than two decade's experience representing retailers of all sizes. Past and current clients include large department stores, national retail chains, restaurants, theaters, and "mom & pop" stores.

Over the past twenty years, we have helped our clients recover tens of millions of dollars in operating cost overcharges and to reduce their future charges by many millions more. Much of these recoveries have been as part of a JOINT Audit (see our "Audit" page).  We also represent retailers in litigation with landlords in a variety of CAM and lease-related disputes throughout the United States (by affiliation with local counsel).

Our leasing practice includes representation of several national chain retailers in shopping center, strip and stand alone leasing. Robert Machson has written extensively about leasing issues in national publications and is the Coordinator for the Legal Program of the National retail Tenant's Association and a regular speaker at its conferences.
