Discovering the location for your business is an exciting step in establishing your new business. It brings your business dreams one step closer to reality.

Do not sign a lease agreement before having an experienced commercial leasing attorney at Spadea, Lanard & Lignana review the lease and negotiate a lease agreement that could save you money today and for years to come.

Commercial leases are highly negotiable, from the business terms to the legal nuances. As a law firm that dedicates approximately 65 percent of its practice to franchise law, we have reviewed, revised, and negotiated hundreds of commercial shopping center and mall leases on behalf of our franchisee clients as well as our general business clients. Because of our extensive experience in this area we find that we often are dealing with landlords and lease forms with which we are previously familiar.

Our attorneys (including a LinkedIn Expert in Property Law) can modify clauses that will affect your bottom line.

Our commercial lease attorneys know the legal issues and business terms that the less experienced lawyer, general practitioner, and the real estate broker won’t know to negotiate. Negotiating terms such as the costs that should be excluded from common area maintenance charges, clarifying the repair obligations of the landlord and tenant, providing the ability to terminate the lease if the tenant can't obtain permits within a specified time period, adding hazardous substance and Americans With Disability Act warranties by the Landlord, are just a sampling of the many provisions we add, revise and negotiate on our client's behalf. We have found that any lease review performed by the franchisor or real estate broker is not a substitute for an independent legal review.

Dear Nancy,
I can never begin to express how much you helped Rich and me as we went through negotiations with [the Landlord] to secure our lease space here in Houston. As new franchisees and novices in securing lease space it was a great comfort to have you as our attorney. It was so reassuring to see your command of the law and how diligent you were in protecting us during the negotiation process. Yes, your legal expertise was much needed! But, your patience with us and your tenacity with [the Landlord] made the process so much more pleasant. We are so grateful to have you as our attorney and we would recommend anyone in need of legal expertise to use you!  Sincerely, Sharron and Richard Quinn Houston, TX.
