When starting a business, you may decide to lease a commercial property for your business operations rather than buying one outright. Before signing the commercial lease, however, you may wish to consult a corporate lawyer. The experienced lawyers at Yaletown Law Corporation can help by reviewing or drafting commercial leases that best suit your needs.
Importance of Consulting a Lawyer Regarding a Commercial Lease
Leasing a commercial property can be an exciting venture for new businesses. However, it is wise to consult a corporate lawyer to avoid unexpected problems in the future.
Some reasons to consider consulting a corporate lawyer are:
Making Sure the Lease is Fair
One of the most important reasons you may wish to contact a corporate lawyer is to make sure you are not entering into an unfair deal.
Commercial leases are created by the owner of a property — usually with the assistance of lawyers — and are largely geared to benefit them as your landlord. Therefore, having a corporate lawyer review the commercial lease can be beneficial to make sure you will not face unexpected problems.
Negotiating a Better Deal
Sometimes you can get better terms on your lease.
Negotiating with your landlord without a lawyer is possible, but not always easy. Your corporate lawyer can negotiate on your behalf. This not only increases your chances of getting an improved commercial lease, but can also ensure that the process is handled correctly.
Explaining Legal Terms
Commercial leases are often filled with several terms you may be unfamiliar with.
Your corporate lawyer will help clarify those terms and can answer any questions you might have about the lease.
By working with a qualified lawyer at Yaletown Law Corporation, you can help alleviate many of your concerns. This way, you can enter the commercial lease — and begin your business on the property — with less worry.
