Optimize Your Commercial Lease Strategy with Expert Solutions
Our Services
We specialize in providing comprehensive lease review and editing services tailored to the unique needs of both commercial landlords and tenants. Our goal is to ensure that every lease agreement you enter into is clear, fair, and aligned with your business goals.
For Commercial Landlords:
- Custom Lease Drafting: We work closely with you to draft and negotiate lease agreements that protect your interests, maximize profitability, and minimize risk. We specialize in tailoring leases to meet the unique needs of industrial and retail property owners, including strip center landlords, focusing on critical terms such as the allocation of maintenance responsibilities, common area maintenance (CAM) costs, tenant improvement allowances (if applicable), and HVAC responsibility, ensuring that leases are both comprehensive and aligned with market demands. Our expertise also covers rent escalation clauses, relocation provisions, recapture provisions, and exclusivity clauses—each meticulously crafted to favor your long-term financial and operational goals.
- Ongoing Lease Support for Shopping Centers: After developing your custom lease template tailored specifically for shopping centers, we provide ongoing support to ensure that all subsequent tenant leases are correctly crafted based on this template. This continuous assistance ensures that leases are implemented seamlessly, minimizing potential issues and offering landlords peace of mind with consistent lease quality across their shopping center portfolio.
- Lease Review & Optimization: Whether you’re entering into a new lease or renewing an existing one, we offer detailed reviews to identify potential risks and opportunities. We’ll help you optimize your lease agreements to enhance property value and tenant satisfaction.
Lease Amendment Packages: We offer packages tailored for common amendments, such as lease extensions, early terminations, or rent adjustments. These packages provide you with cost-effective, standardized solutions to manage your lease modifications efficiently and effectively.
- Pre-Litigation Dispute Resolution: We provide strategic advice and solutions to address lease-related disputes before they escalate to litigation. If litigation seems imminent or unavoidable, we assist in referring you to the ideal real estate litigator to ensure your interests are effectively represented.
For Commercial Tenants:
- Lease Review: We help tenants understand the implications of lease terms and identify potential pitfalls before signing. Our reviews ensure that your lease agreement is fair and that you’re not exposed to unnecessary risks or hidden costs.
- Lease Negotiation: We assist tenants in negotiating favorable terms that align with their business objectives. Our experience with landlords gives us unique insights into how to secure terms that benefit your operations.
- Lease Amendments: As your business evolves, your lease should too. We help tenants navigate amendments, ensuring that any changes are advantageous and clear.
