“I've dealt successfully with almost any challenge a retailer can face, especially those involving real estate assets. Now I apply the lessons I learned from that experience to produce results for you.”

Mr. Friedman founded RCS in 1981 to facilitate restructuring strategies for retail companies. And after more than a quarter-century of success, he has become widely recognized for his industry leadership and track record of producing optimal results for his clients, based on his vast knowledge of the retail industry, foresight of market trends and exceptional negotiating skills.

He spent decades as Chairman and CEO of national retail companies, successfully navigating the turbulent market cycles of the 1970s and 1980s. When exorbitant interest rates, inflationary rents and recessionary economic conditions threatened the solvency of many retailers, Mr. Friedman developed an unmatched skill in renegotiating contractual obligations to win the terms necessary not just to survive but also to thrive in difficult market environments.

Today Mr. Friedman remains the driving force behind the success of RCS Real Estate Advisors, working with a team that shares his thorough understanding of the retail industry and extensive experience in real estate to produce results matched by no other firm.
