Leasing and Tenancies

Corporate and commercial law

Achieving successful commercial objectives involves collaborating with lawyers who understand your business, your commercial environment and your expectations for the future. Your lawyer should act as your business partner, offering advice to help you make better business decisions.

This requires people who can explain complex situations in plain English, provide dependable and accurate information, anticipate and manage risks, and develop solutions to get you a profitable outcome.

If you’re wanting to lease property, all residential, commercial and retail leases need to be compliant, balanced and fair to all parties included in the lease. Leases aren’t always standard agreements which can be used with a cookie cutter approach. They also need to account for potential changes to arrangements that could occur during the term of the lease.

Getting robust lease agreements drawn up doesn’t have to be expensive. As specialists in leasing and property law, we know exactly how to handle each situation and what needs to be included in your lease. The cost of resolving a lease dispute is often more expensive than getting the agreement right at the outset.
