A commercial lease is often a multi-year financial commitment that shapes your business profoundly. The lease the landlord hands you is written for the landlord. A short attorney review can catch the provisions that matter most before you sign.

We review commercial leases for Arizona small businesses with a focus on the terms that produce most disputes: rent escalation, common area maintenance, repair and maintenance obligations, assignment and subletting, default and cure rights, personal guarantees, and exit options.

We deliver the review in plain language, flag the items most worth negotiating, and help you decide which battles are worth fighting before signing. The cost of an attorney review is small compared to the cost of a five-year lease with bad terms.

If you are renewing or relocating, the same review applies. Renewal leases often include changes that deserve a careful read.
