How we can help
Advice shaped around the situation in front of you.
A commercial lease creates continuing obligations. We focus on the provisions that affect occupation, cost, flexibility and the longer-term plans for the premises.
Assignments and underletting
Transferring or sharing occupation while meeting the lease and landlord’s requirements.
Licences and consents
Documenting consent for alterations, assignment or underletting with the necessary protections.
The process
A clear route from first conversation to next step.
- Review the heads of terms and understand the commercial objective.
- Investigate title and negotiate the lease or relevant licence.
- Report clearly on obligations, risk and points needing a practical decision.
- Complete the documents and deal with registration or notices where required.
The right approach depends on the facts, documents and any deadline. We will explain the scope and likely cost before substantive work begins.
