How to Draft & Negotiate Small Commercial Leases

Real estate is a mission-critical element for every company, providing the physical platform on which to operate and grow a business. The lease governs the business deal and day-to-day operational requirements of the office between the property owner and the company. Combining traditional common law concepts, modern contract provisions, and plenty of local market-based terms of art, the commercial lease bears little resemblance to your first apartment lease, and can be difficult to review the first time. The panelists discuss the essential concepts in every lease and the interests and perspectives that landlords and tenants bring to each of them during negotiation and after the lease is signed.
