Ready to learn the basics of commercial leasing? We’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re a real estate practitioner, a young litigator, a real estate paralegal or a general practitioner, a solid understanding of commercial leasing is essential. Attorneys are often called upon to negotiate and draft commercial leases for office, retail, or industrial spaces – sometimes on behalf of a firm, friends, colleagues or business associates. Each type of lease comes with its own nuances and challenges. Join this seminar to prepare yourself for when a commercial leasing matter arises in your practice.

Topics include:

  • Essential terms to cover in a lease
  • Understanding a gross lease versus a net lease
  • What is a work letter allowance?
  • What are the most heavily negotiated boiler plate provisions?
    • Commencement date
    • Repair and maintenance clauses
    • Operating expense pass throughs and base years
    • Real estate taxes
  • Tenancy actions: what every practitioner should know
  • Can the commercial lease be assigned?
