Our Services.
Commercial Leases.
Whether you’re a landlord leasing office space or a tenant setting up a business, we draft, review, and negotiate commercial leases to suit your needs. We cover rent terms, outgoings, maintenance obligations, and dispute resolution, ensuring clarity and fairness.
Retail Leases & the Retail Leases Act NSW
Retail leasing comes with unique regulations under the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW). We guide retailers and landlords through compliance, disclosure statements, minimum lease terms, and rent reviews, protecting you from costly oversights.
Sub-Leasing
Sub-leasing can unlock value or flexibility in your property arrangement. We draft and negotiate sub-lease agreements, ensuring compliance with head leases and safeguarding all parties’ rights.
Agreements for Lease
Planning a future lease? We prepare agreements for leases that lock in terms early, providing certainty for developments, fit-outs, or delayed occupancy while minimising risks.
Assignments, Surrenders & Variations of Lease
Transferring or ending a lease? We manage lease assignments and surrenders, handling consents, negotiations, and documentation to ensure a smooth transition.
Need to amend an existing lease? We negotiate and draft variations—whether it’s adjusting rent, extending terms, or modifying conditions—keeping your agreement current and workable.
Fit-Out Incentives for Landlords & Tenants
Fit-out incentives can make or break a deal. We structure agreements for landlord contributions or tenant works, ensuring clarity on costs, ownership, and reinstatement obligations.
