# About Us # Drafting leases in Word is broken. 33,000 leases later, we’re still fixing it. A decade in, this is the company. This is what comes next. ![David Saltman](/_next/image?url=%2Fleadership%2Fdavid-saltman.jpg&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_ByYGQUFkKUCm18Txx9yVAZK96Ktr)![Lior Kedmi](/_next/image?url=%2Fleadership%2Flior-kedmi.jpg&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_ByYGQUFkKUCm18Txx9yVAZK96Ktr) Built by a CRE attorney and a technologist. Origin ## An attorney noticed the work. A technologist saw the system. ![David Saltman](/_next/image?url=%2Fleadership%2Fdavid-saltman.jpg&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_ByYGQUFkKUCm18Txx9yVAZK96Ktr) David Saltman CEO David Saltman drafted commercial leases for major landlords for years. The judgment calls — fallback positions, percentage rent structure, what to concede on co-tenancy — were the part he was good at. The mechanical work — exhibits, rent schedules with CPI escalations, cross-references that had to stay in sync — was the part that consumed the day. Each draft, hours. Across a career, weeks of work that should never have been work. ![Lior Kedmi](/_next/image?url=%2Fleadership%2Flior-kedmi.jpg&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_ByYGQUFkKUCm18Txx9yVAZK96Ktr) Lior Kedmi CTO Lior Kedmi, a technologist, turned David's experience into a platform. A 40-page lease has hundreds of cross-references — every term tied to every escalation, every premises measurement tied to every pro-rata share, every CAM cap tied to every base year. Word can't hold that. A spreadsheet bolted to Word can't either. LeasePilot models the lease as the thing it actually is: a graph of clauses and the variables they depend on. Ten years on, the platform they built runs 33,000 leases across 5,000 properties in all 50 states — every edge case CRE drafting can surface, already encoded into it. That’s why the leases at Brixmor, EDENS, and Federal Realty are drafted on LeasePilot. The decade ## One floor per year. Eleven so far. 33K+ Leases 5,000+ properties. All 50 states.

Percentage rent breakpoints. CAM reconciliation. Co-tenancy clauses. SNDA, estoppels, fallback positions. CLM tools cover hundreds of contract types shallow. LeasePilot covers one — the one with thirty interlocking terms — deep. - ### Augment attorneys, never replace them. The attorney decides which fallback to take, what to concede on co-tenancy, when a tenant's ask isn't worth the rent bump. LeasePilot does everything else: pulls the right template, calculates the rent schedule, manages the cross-references. The line is bright, and we draw it on the attorney's side of every judgment call. - ### Structured data, not just documents. A deal isn't one document. It's a lease, a work letter, an SNDA, an estoppel, a guarantee — and they all reference the same handful of variables. Term length. Premises measurement. Base rent. Inside LeasePilot they're connected. In Word, you maintain them by hand and hope. - ### Built to REIT and AmLaw 100 standards. SOC 2 Type II. 99.99% uptime. Annual audit, continuous controls. Brixmor, Federal Realty, JBG SMITH, DLC Management, Klein Enterprises — already on the platform. The bar publicly traded REITs require, cleared and re-cleared every year. From the desks of ## A COO.
