Key Concepts for Negotiating and Drafting Commercial Leases

Please join us via Zoom for a one-hour webinar designed to help you learn how to effectively plan for your business clients. As part of a monthly webinar series offered through WealthCounsel, this webinar will discuss how carefully drafted, reviewed, and negotiated commercial leases can foster an amicable tenant/landlord relationship for a business attorney’s clients. This webinar will cover the most frequently negotiated and disputed provisions found in small commercial real estate leases and provide tips for preparing and negotiating leases, including:

• Clearly defining the regulation and enforcement of exclusive use and other restrictions
• Allocating risks in representations and warranties
• Dividing responsibility for maintenance of common areas and repair, maintenance, and replacement of mechanical systems, as well as enforcement mechanisms
• Issues related to lease guarantees

It will also address which provisions a landlord should be willing or resistant to modifying and what information tenants should be willing to provide. Learn how to effectively represent your client (whether landlord or tenant) in negotiating these important commercial agreements.
