PLG Welcomes new partner Klio Moore to its Seattle office in the Real Estate practice group.
With nearly three decades of experience, Klio Moore has established a distinguished practice negotiating and drafting over a thousand leases and subleases across a wide range of commercial properties, including tall office towers, shopping centers, regional malls, stand-alone buildings, warehouse parks, casinos, airports, condominiums, and more. Representing international, national and regional retail, restaurant, and office clients, Klio has worked with industry-leading brands and companies in all aspects of their real estate needs.
While adept at supporting large clients with extensive portfolios of hundreds or thousands of stores, Klio takes particular pride in assisting with the rollout of new retail and restaurant concepts. By helping clients streamline their processes, Klio ensures efficiency in timing and cost management. This includes developing tailored forms for letters of intent, leases, and operational procedures to track critical dates, allowances, and key milestones.
Klio also advises clients on mergers and acquisitions, addressing leasing issues related to the sale or purchase of retail locations. This involves drafting and negotiating assignment and amendment agreements and overseeing due diligence to ensure seamless transactions.
Operationally, Klio supports retail clients with store closures, early termination agreements, landlord disputes, and tenant improvement allowance collections. Proficient in navigating complex property structures, she also reviews and drafts critical documents such as estoppel certificates, landlord work letters, subordination and nondisturbance agreements, lease guarantees, and senior party consents. Clients rely on Klio’s comprehensive approach to assess exposure related to senior documents, ground leases, reciprocal easement agreements, and property restrictions.
Prior to joining PLG, Klio was a partner with Opus Law Group. She received her J.D., cum laude, from Boston University School of Law and her B.A. from University of Washington.
