Commercial leases are often complex and favor landlords. An attorney ensures that key terms, such as rent escalation, maintenance obligations, and renewal options, are fair and protect your interests. We also help identify hidden liabilities and negotiate terms to safeguard your business.
An LLC provides personal liability protection, separating your personal assets from any liabilities related to the property. It also offers tax advantages and makes it easier to manage co-ownership. We assist with forming your LLC and properly deeding the property to it to ensure legal compliance and protection.
We review loan agreements, ensure compliance with lender requirements, and negotiate terms to protect your investment. Whether you’re financing a new purchase, refinancing to lower rates, or restructuring debt, we make sure the agreements align with your goals and minimize risk.
Key areas to focus on include:
•Base rent and escalations – Are increases reasonable?
•CAM (Common Area Maintenance) charges – Are they capped?
•Repair obligations – Who’s responsible for maintenance and repairs?
•Exit clauses – Can you sublease or terminate early?
We help you understand these provisions and negotiate favorable terms.
Transferring property to an LLC can trigger due-on-sale clauses in mortgages, requiring lender approval. It may also have tax implications, depending on your circumstances. We provide legal and tax guidance to ensure a smooth transfer without unexpected costs or penalties.
