Make sure your interests are protected by securing independent review with your own attorney.

Your Lease Agreement Can Make Or Break Your Business

Only sign a commercial lease once you have had an experienced attorney at Lanard and Associates review the terms and negotiate the agreement. A properly negotiated agreement could save you significant money in the years to come.

For experienced, tenacious representation, contact the leasing attorneys at Lanard and Associates. If you had a broker or franchisor review a lease, should you also retain an experienced tenant’s lease attorney? The answer is absolutely, yes! The broker will help negotiate the business terms (rent, term, square footage, etc.) and the franchisor typically is concerned with protecting its interests, not yours.

Your lease is most likely to be very landlord-oriented and probably requires that you personally guaranty rent (putting your home and investments at risk), in addition to providing you with little rights in other situations, such as sufficient notice upon default, proper calculation of operating expenses, and clearly defining lease terms and renewals and rent for those lease terms, etc. Let Nancy Lanard and the attorneys at Lanard and Associates, be your advocates to negotiate terms that can even out the playing field with the landlord. With our very reasonable flat fee, you will know upfront what your fee will be.
