Commercial Leasing

Lease terms decide the economics of a tenancy for years to come. The firm prepares, reviews and advises on commercial (non-retail) and retail leases for landlords and tenants, and acts in lease disputes — from default notices and lock-outs through to mediation at the Victorian Small Business Commission (VSBC) and hearings at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).
