Leases and Leasing
Helping You Understand Commercial Leases
Commercial leases can be complex, detailed and frankly headache-inducing for many of our clients. There’s a good reason for that, and it’s not just because lawyers love to get wordy: A commercial lease is an important document that controls the relationship between two parties who stand to lose a great deal if anything goes wrong. Landlords risk damaged property and defaults; tenants can lose their businesses through conflicts involving rent increases, improper maintenance or similar businesses moving in close by.
Landlords, Tenants And Leases
Whether you are a commercial landlord or tenant, we can help you:
- Negotiate to have advantageous clauses included to protect your business or your investment as a landlord or tenant
- Review commercial leases to ensure that your rights are protected
- Advise you on situations such as breaches of covenants or breaches of other parts of your lease, renewals, lease hold improvements, insurance issues or other matters
- Represent you in a dispute, preserving the business relationship when desired but ready to protect your interests in court if necessary
- Initiate direct action if there is a situation that needs immediate resolution, such as stopping damage to your property
