A well-structured lease agreement is the foundation of a successful landlord-tenant relationship. At Kurzman Eisenberg, our Real Estate Practice Group has extensive experience handling all facets of commercial leasing, ensuring that agreements align with our clients’ business goals and provide the necessary legal protections.
We represent landlords, tenants, and property managers in negotiating and structuring leases across a range of property types, including office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments.
A successful lease transaction begins with a well-drafted letter of intent (LOI). We guide our clients through this critical phase, ensuring that key business terms—such as rental structure, lease duration, renewal options, and tenant improvements—are clearly defined to prevent future disputes.
Additionally, we negotiate brokerage agreements, property management agreements, and early access letters to facilitate smooth leasing transactions.
Our team has extensive experience drafting and negotiating lease agreements that address the complexities of commercial leasing, whether representing landlords or tenants. We carefully structure leases to account for rent escalation clauses, maintenance and repair obligations, subleasing and assignment provisions, and indemnity protections.
Our knowledge of operating and tax escalation clauses, including exclusions and inclusions, ensures that our clients are not exposed to unexpected financial burdens.
We represent clients in ground lease negotiations, ensuring that both landlords and tenants understand the long-term financial and operational implications of these agreements. Our firm also advises on sale-leaseback transactions, where property owners can unlock capital while retaining operational control of their premises.
These transactions require careful structuring to align with tax considerations, lender requirements, and business objectives.
Our deep understanding of real estate finance allows us to navigate leasehold financing provisions and lender requirements for office leases. We help clients secure leasehold financing, negotiate subordination and non-disturbance agreements, and ensure that lease terms align with lender expectations, minimizing risks for all parties involved.
Lease agreements may require modifications due to changes in business needs, economic conditions, or legal requirements. We assist clients in negotiating lease amendments, restructuring lease obligations, and resolving disputes efficiently—whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary.
Additionally, we handle lease terminations, ensuring compliance with all contractual and legal obligations to mitigate liability.
Kurzman Eisenberg’s real estate attorneys provide tailored legal solutions for complex leasing transactions. Our multidisciplinary approach, which integrates real estate, finance, and corporate law, ensures that our clients receive comprehensive representation in every aspect of their leasing matters.
Whether negotiating leases, handling disputes, or structuring financing arrangements, we bring strategic insight and practical solutions to protect our clients’ interests.
