Clear advice for commercial tenants
If you’re a current or prospective commercial tenant, the lease on your premises represents one of your biggest overheads. Yet, many commercial tenants are quick to sign without taking legal advice, risking potentially disastrous consequences.
We can help you with negotiating commercial property lease agreements, lease renewals, changes of use, surrendering and subletting. The right legal advice can save you from falling into potentially disastrous traps, including ‘stitch-up’ agreements that can leave tenants subject to unfair conditions.
