Experienced NSW leasing lawyers for commercial, retail and industrial tenants. Clear advice. Strong negotiation. Practical outcomes. Fixed-fees.
Our team will be in touch with you to understand more about your new lease and unpack how we can best help you to move forward.
Commercial leases are complex and they usually favour the landlord.
The terms you accept will shape your rent obligations, business risk profile and exit options for years.
We review and negotiate leases for Tenants so that obligations are balanced and your rights are protected.
We advise across retail, office and industrial premises throughout NSW.
We review the agreement for lease, lease and supporting documents, explain their commercial impact, and propose positions that protect cash flow and operational flexibility. We handle the negotiations with the landlord side and keep you updated on what has moved and what remains open.
When options arise, we confirm notice requirements so that continuity of trade is not at risk. Where the lease is silent or unclear, we provide a pathway that reduces dispute risk.

We structure CPI or market reviews in a way that limits surprises and sets a fair process for valuation. We ensure that incentives are documented so that conditions are workable and payment timing is certain.
At the outset, we review the heads of agreement so that early terms do not box you in. A clear heads of agreement speeds up the lease drafting and limits rework later.
When a lease needs to evolve with your business, we prepare and negotiate variations that reflect agreed changes without creating hidden liabilities.
We advise tenants on disputes about rent, repairs, access, fit out, make good and breaches. Our team represents clients in all types of proceedings within the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks, including NCAT and the courts when required.

It is strongly recommended. Leases create long term financial commitments and complex obligations. A review ensures you understand the risks and that key terms are negotiated before you are locked in.
Simple reviews can be turned around within two to three business days once we receive all documents. Complex matters that require negotiation will take longer. We will confirm timeframes at scoping.
Provide the draft lease, the disclosure statement for retail leases, any heads of agreement or agreement to for lease, the plan of the premises and any landlord specifications for fit out.
We offer a short initial call to confirm fit and scope. Formal legal advice and written reviews are provided on a fee basis that we will quote up front.
Fees depend on the complexity of your lease and the level of negotiation required. Straightforward lease reviews start from a fixed price, while more complex matters are scoped individually before work begins. We will confirm scope, timing and total cost before you commit so there are no surprises.
