Trevor Adler counsels clients in commercial real estate matters and has industry-leading experience in complex leasing and condominium transactions for office, retail, co-working, nonprofit, and educational space in New York City and nationally on behalf of major landlords, tenants, purchasers, and sellers.

Trevor has been on the forefront of advising landlords and tenants navigating the uncertain real estate market that was triggered by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and his deals have been widely recognized in the press: Commercial Observer features "Weill Cornell Expands to 300K SF at 575 Lexington Avenue," Bisnow features "University Signs Massive Lease In The Heart Of Times Square," MEAG Press Release features "Asset manager announces five leases at 320 Park Avenue following $40M renovation," Real Estate Weekly features "Vornado Leases 77,000 s/f for New School at 825 Seventh" and "Minskoff welcomes global fitness franchise to 51 Astor," and The Real Deal features "Management consulting firm inks big lease at Minskoff's 1166 Sixth." 

Trevor received a Chambers USA ranking in 2024, and was named a 2022 "Real Estate and Development Power Player" by AMNY Metro and PoliticsNY. In 2021, he was admitted as a fellow to the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL). He was named a "Real Estate/Construction 40 Under 40" by City & State as well as a "One to Watch" by the New York Real Estate Journal. Crain's New York Business, The Legal 500, and Super Lawyers have also all attested to his skills.

Trevor is the lead pro bono real estate counsel to the New York Bar Foundation, the charitable and philanthropic entity of the New York State Bar Association, whose mission is to improve access to justice and advance the rule of law. He is also vice chair of the board of directors of Broadway Housing Communities Inc., a nationally recognized not-for-profit developer of supportive and affordable housing in upper Manhattan.
