Lease Agreements are often confusing, lengthy and complex. Sometimes, deliberately so. Often multiple pages of jumble that a business owner simply signs without turning their mind to the consequences. It is dangerous to sign a document you do not understand. It can cause you to become trapped in a contract that can have profound legal and financial consequences.I recently appeared at a telephone hearing for a sole application for a divorce. In some cases, Court hearings can be conducted over the telephone. The divorce process is frequently conducted over the telephone which is excellent in many ways for our clients, especially ones with anxiety or ones that cannot make it into the office because they live remotely.
Our client, an emerging retail commercial business operating interstate, sought our assistance when expanding nationally. We reviewed and advised on a lease agreement in South Australia. This legal step is critical before committing to a new lease agreement. If the client entered into this agreement without full and proper advice, they could stall or impact their business success. Careful review of the legal documents and straightforward legal guidance is important to help reduce risks. We ensure all terms and conditions are brought to the attention of the business owner and that the terms and conditions are fair and lawful. Often, such terms are not fair, nor lawful, and you need to know. When you are fully aware that terms are unfair or unlawful, then you will have an opportunity to negotiate more favourable terms.
Signing a lease without advice is not worth the risk. A small investment today can help reduce risk of financial loss, or potential insolvency in the future. Our fees start from as little as $750 and can save you time, stress, money and provide security for your business growth into the future.
We provided a comprehensive legal advisory service, including:
Following our detailed review and recommendations, our client was able to negotiate more favourable terms with the landlord. Critical representations and commitments were clearly incorporated into the final lease agreement, safeguarding the client’s interests and ensuring a fair and balanced contractual relationship.
For businesses entering into lease agreements, especially those in the retail and commercial sectors, it is important to seek professional legal advice. The complexity of lease agreements demands comprehensive understanding and clarity to avoid costly disputes and unforeseen liabilities. Ensure your lease terms are fair, clear, and legally sound by consulting with our legal professionals before making any commitments.
