22nd Annual Commercial Real Estate Update 2025

Endorsed by the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin

Commercial break

In a year marked by statutory changes and tightening economic pressures, commercial real estate is feeling the impact. And retail leasing illustrates the challenge. Bankruptcies at national chains like Party City and Joann Fabrics, ongoing inflation, and tariff uncertainty are prompting tenants to delay commitments.1 Whether you’re drafting lease provisions, advising on priority disputes, or decoding property assessments, staying current is essential to protecting your clients’ deals and bottom lines.

The 22nd Annual Commercial Real Estate Update delivers the practical insights you need to address the issues dominating today’s transactions and conflicts. From federal changes to Wisconsin-specific law, you’ll gain timely knowledge and strategies you can put to work for your clients.
