Josh A. Steinberg focuses on providing knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, and personal service to his clients, while concentrating his practice on representing real estate clients of all types – buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, lenders and borrowers – in all types of transactions including retail, office, and industrial leases, residential and commercial purchase and sale agreements, brokerage agreements, and financing documentation. He also advises and protects his business clients in many aspects of their business, from drafting partnership and operating agreements as they are starting their businesses, to applying for and securing trademarks so they can protect the businesses they have worked so hard to create.
Prior to joining Kaplin Stewart, Josh was a litigator in Philadelphia. During his time as a litigator, Josh learned that his profession, by nature, is adversarial. Therefore, Josh believes the most effective way to achieve his clients’ goals is to provide service in a way that engenders respect from clients and opponents alike. He applies that philosophy to his transactional work each day while advocating his clients’ interests, whether he is negotiating on behalf of a landlord who is leasing space in a desirable shopping center or the small business owner who is trying to rent space in that very same type of center, or a borrower who is securing financing for its next real estate development or the lender that is providing that financing. Josh was honored at Temple University’s Beasley Law School for excellence in both oral advocacy and writing, so whether a situation requires skillful negotiation or an effectively written agreement to adequately and accurately memorialize the fruits of that negotiation, Josh is able to provide that service in a knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, and personal way.
