Where we work
Common questions
What tenants ask first
Should I have a lawyer review my commercial lease before signing?
+
Yes. A standard commercial lease is written to protect the landlord. The terms that actually matter to you (guaranty scope, assignment rights, default and cure periods) are rarely favorable by default, and they're far easier to negotiate before you sign than after.
What's the difference between a gross lease and a triple net (NNN) lease?
+
In a gross lease, rent is a flat number and the landlord covers most operating costs. In a NNN lease, the tenant pays a share of taxes, insurance, and common area expenses on top of base rent, and an uncapped NNN clause can mean your costs rise every year with no ceiling.
What is a personal guaranty, and can it be negotiated?
+
It's a provision making you personally liable for the lease obligations, beyond your business entity. It's negotiable more often than tenants realize, commonly reduced to a defined period ('burning off' after a set time) rather than lasting the full lease term.
Can I get out of a commercial lease early?
+
Only if the lease allows it, or if you negotiate an exit provision before signing. Early termination rights, subleasing, and assignment clauses are all worth addressing upfront rather than discovering the lease is silent on them later.
Do you review leases for any type of commercial space, or just restaurants?
+
Any type. We handle retail, office, medical, and industrial leases in addition to restaurant and bar leases specifically. The underlying issues are similar even though the specific terms that matter can differ by industry.
