Next edition

May 21, 2026, 12:00 p.m.

Are you a commercial landlord or tenant? Negotiating a commercial lease can have significant financial, operational, and legal consequences for your business.

Join us for this exclusive webinar on commercial leasing strategy and learn about the most common mistakes to avoid when negotiating your commercial lease agreements.

Why Attend This Commercial Leasing Webinar?

A commercial lease is far more than just the base rent. Each clause can directly impact your occupancy costs, your business flexibility, and your exposure to legal risk.

During this interactive session, our experts will break down the key provisions that deserve close attention before signing or renewing a lease.

What Truly Impacts Your Occupancy Costs

Certain lease provisions can significantly increase your financial commitments without you fully realizing it at signing.

We will discuss:

  • Additional rent and operating costs
  • Indexation and escalation clauses
  • Maintenance and repair obligations
  • Common area expenses and cost allocation
  • Adjustment and reconciliation mechanisms

Our goal: to help you anticipate your real occupancy costs and avoid costly surprises.

What Can Limit Your Business Flexibility

Your lease can restrict your ability to grow, pivot, or transfer your operations.

Our panel will address:

  • Use clauses
  • Assignment and subleasing restrictions
  • Renewal provisions
  • Expansion rights and relocation clauses

Understand how to negotiate terms that support your business strategy instead of limiting it.

What Increases Your Legal Risk Exposure

Some clauses can substantially increase your liability and financial risk.

We will examine:

  • Tenant guarantees
  • Default clauses
  • Environmental obligations
  • Landlord remedies
  • Early termination provisions

You will gain practical insights to better protect your business and reduce risk exposure.
