The most experienced commercial lawyers in Sydney
When you’re accustomed to a four-page residential lease, a 50-page contract can be intimidating. So many clauses. So many conditions. Every unique inclusion could limit your business and your profits. There’s no such thing as a typical agreement in commercial leasing, so landlords will tailor the agreement to suit their needs and increase their profits.
Every facet of your operations depends on your commercial lease agreement. You can’t afford to make fundamental mistakes during contract negotiations.
You could be limited in many ways, including building modifications, operating hours, signage and the right to offer particular services. Worst of all, you could build a successful business that depends on your location, only to find that you don’t have the option to renew. Imagine having to relocate at the peak of your success.
When your office, store, or factory location is essential to your operation, missing or misinterpreting a condition is costly. You may think a lawyer is expensive. But a mistake during a commercial leasing negotiation could threaten your future.
An experienced property lawyer can shed light on the stressful mysteries that make commercial lease negotiations one of the most dangerous phases of any business development.
