Leasing

Leasing is a heavily regulated area of law and our lawyers have extensive experience with commercial leases - including those which fall under the Retail Shop Leases Act - and associated occupancy documentation.

We can assist clients with the preparation of or advice in relation to:

• Leases including those which fall under the Retail Shop Leases Act.
• Occupancy Licences.
• Step In Deeds.

When offering 'brick and mortar' franchises, clients require comprehensive advice of the various options available to them and must consider how they wish to control the site of each franchise.

Policy relating to leasing will be an integral element of their franchise strategy and may also determine the appropriate business structure.

In addition, Franchisee clients need to understand both the Lease and any associated occupancy documents when deciding whether to purchase a 'brick and mortar' franchise.
