Leases
Drafting and review of urban and rural lease agreements: commercial premises, dwellings, tourist and temporary rentals. Advice to landlords and tenants on negotiating terms, risk allocation, duration, guarantees and dispute resolution.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Lease transaction analysis
We review the type of lease — commercial premises, dwelling, tourist rental, temporary, rural — its economic conditions and the client's specific needs to design the most appropriate agreement.
Contract drafting and negotiation
We draft a complete and technically sound lease agreement, negotiating terms with the counterparty and incorporating specific clauses on rent, duration, guarantees, works and termination.
Incident management during the tenancy
We advise on any issue arising during the term of the agreement — arrears, unauthorised works, subletting, rent review — proposing solutions before the dispute reaches litigation.
Termination, renewal or eviction
We manage the end of the tenancy — expiry, termination, eviction or renewal — with the appropriate documentation and protection of the landlord's or tenant's rights as the case may be.
Who this is for
Individual landlords and asset holding companies with rental properties, investors and funds with leased asset portfolios, and tenant companies negotiating commercial or office premises leases of significant economic value.
