Counsel

Overview

Kelley Johnson offers straightforward counsel on commercial real estate deals, so that clients can focus on the potential, not just the paperwork.

In negotiations, Kelley works to structure transactions so that clients continue to generate returns long after the ink on agreements has dried.

Kelley manages acquisitions and dispositions for a diverse mix of property types, such as office buildings, retail malls and industrial complexes. She is also well-versed in leasing, including health care, office, industrial and retail.

Locally, Kelley has represented landlords in retail and office leases, but her practice is not limited to the Philadelphia area.
