TEXAS LEASE REVIEW-

Before entering into a legal document you want to have thought through you business needs. The agreements you sign and especially long term leases should reflect your business needs. The time to know about the lease for your office or retail business is before you sign.

The experience I have in writing and negoiating commercial leases from both the tenant and landlord perspective provides the foundation for my lease review practice. Once I understand your business needs we compare your needs to the lease offered to you by the owner/landlord.

What is:

• Your present situation
• Your plans for the real estate
• Your lease terms and conditions
• Your lease exhibits and guarantees.


• What cost are apparent and built into your lease that will effect your business decision?
• What are your cost, the true effective dates of obligations?
• What expenses and tax issues should you consider?
• What tenant improvement language provides you adequate allowance coupled with control of the finish out.
• How do you cap costs and recapture unused allowances.

A lease review, with recommendations and options, will assist you and your real estate professional negotiate and obtain favorable lease terms on provisions ranging from recovering deposit, the limitation or elimination of personal guarantees, to cost containment.

I will be glad to serve as your counsel in evaluating options or join your negotiating team to produce the deal that meets your needs. Contact our office today!
