Commercial Lease Agreements

You're committing to a space for years. The lease should protect you for every one of them. We draft and review commercial leases for both tenants and landlords — covering the terms, the build-out, the renewals, and everything in between.

A commercial lease is one of the longest and most expensive commitments your business will make. Read the fine print.

The landlord sent over a 60-page lease and you're not sure what's standard, what's aggressive, and what's a dealbreaker.

You need to understand your exposure on personal guarantees, CAM charges, escalation clauses, and early termination penalties before you sign.

You're a landlord drafting a lease for a new tenant and need terms that protect your property while remaining commercially reasonable.

Your build-out timeline, tenant improvement allowance, and rent commencement date are all tied together — and the lease language needs to reflect that clearly.

Our Approach

Commercial leases reviewed and drafted with your bottom line in mind

Tenant-Side Review

We review every provision of the landlord's lease, flag unfavorable terms, and deliver a redline with clear recommendations on what to negotiate.

Landlord-Side Drafting

We draft leases that protect your property interests while staying commercially reasonable — structured to attract quality tenants and reduce disputes.

Build-Out & TI Provisions

Tenant improvement allowances, construction timelines, landlord approvals, and rent commencement triggers — we make sure the build-out terms are clear and enforceable.

Financial Term Analysis

Base rent, escalation schedules, CAM charges, percentage rent, operating expense pass-throughs — we break down the financial terms so you understand the true cost of occupancy.

Renewal & Exit Strategy

Renewal options, expansion rights, contraction rights, sublease provisions, and early termination — we build in the flexibility your business needs over a multi-year commitment.

Negotiation Support

We work alongside you and your broker through the negotiation process, advising on trade-offs and helping you close a deal that works for your business.
