Do Not Sign A Commercial Lease Without Having Lanard And Associates Negotiate It
Commercial leases tend to favor the landlord when written. At Lanard and Associates, we ensure that you sign a lease that puts you in a much stronger tenant position. We will go through the document with you line by line, explaining the legalese in plain English and how the terms will impact you. We understand the repercussions of signing an unfavorable lease agreement and will strongly advocate on your behalf to protect your best interests. With our decades of lease negotiation experience we know what terms are critical to your business future. We will take care of the fine print so you can drive the larger vision.
