This program will provide an overview of commercial real estate leasing and the common mistakes made by those drafting and reviewing such leases. Although geared towards landlords and the pitfalls they want to avoid, it will also address some tenant concerns and the best way to negotiate the terms of the lease, from both viewpoints.

We will examine the most common provisions in a commercial lease, how to ensure that the parties are protected from unintended consequences and ways to make sure that the landlord is not exposed to potential claims or lawsuits by its tenants.

The program will discuss various drafting strategies and the written materials will include sample “must have” provisions appropriate for almost all commercial leases.
