Commercial Landlord and Tenant Solicitors

Protecting your interests in commercial property leases

Landlord and tenant law is a complex area. This is particularly true when dealing with commercial property, as the parties are entering into a legally binding contract, often for many years with onerous obligations on both sides. Unlike residential tenants, commercial tenants are not afforded the same protections, as they are considered to have equal bargaining power with the landlord. Without the benefit of legal advice, tenants can often find themselves with an onerous lease, leading to costly repairing obligations, unreasonable service charges, and without the ability to terminate the lease early.
