Whether you’re granting a new lease, taking on a tenancy, or managing an existing agreement, we offer the guidance and commercial clarity you need.
Legal Advice for Commercial Lease Agreements
A commercial lease is more than just a document – it’s a detailed agreement that sets out rights, obligations, liabilities, and restrictions. It can have long-term consequences for your cash flow, operational flexibility, and legal exposure. That’s why proper legal advice from the outset is so important.

- New lease agreements for landlords or tenants
- Lease assignments and subletting

- Break clauses and rent reviews
- Dilapidations and service charge disputes
- Surrenders, forfeiture, and enforcement
- Licences to occupy or alter premises
- Lease variations and side agreements
We also assist with related matters such as commercial freehold sales and property contract negotiations. Our aim is always to ensure the lease works in practice – not just on paper.

Taking on a lease is a big commitment for any business. We help tenants understand exactly what they’re signing up to – and negotiate more favourable terms wherever possible.

We also advise start-ups and growing businesses on flexible leasing options, including licences or short-term occupation agreements.
