Most attorneys understand real estate law in theory. Having managed tens of millions in real estate savings and led operations as Head of Real Estate - America at Siemens, I know exactly how legal vulnerabilities in a contract translate to operational disasters.

I leverage this insider expertise to draft stronger agreements, anticipate liabilities other lawyers miss, and fiercely protect my clients' assets.​

​

O'Brien Law Office focuses exclusively on commercial real estate law, with a deep niche in representing corporate tenants and occupiers. Gary O'Brien brings something most real estate attorneys can't: he's sat in the client's chair. As former Head of Real Estate – Americas at Siemens, Gary managed a portfolio spanning tens of millions of dollars in real estate commitments — negotiating the same leases, navigating the same landlord pressures, and absorbing the same operational consequences that his mid-size corporate clients face today.

​

That insider perspective means Gary doesn't just review your agreements — he understands what's at stake when a clause goes wrong at 2am before a major opening, or when a landlord asserts rights your counsel missed at signing. Mid-size companies and corporate occupiers get senior-level legal counsel, direct partner access, and the kind of responsiveness that large firms reserve for their biggest clients.
