Practice Areas: Commercial Tenancy
Justin Ledden, Civil Litigation Attorney
Ledden Law Office represents commercial landlords and tenants in both a transactional and litigation context.
Commercial Lease Drafting/Review/Negotiation
In most commercial real estate transactions, it is a good idea to have a qualified attorney take a look and do something beneficial with the important documents involved, the most common of which is the lease. An attorney with relevant experience can add considerable value by reviewing an existing lease and finding problems you might not have thought about, therefore avoiding major headaches down the road. This is done by drafting new language and/or by locating clauses within the lease that are completely one-sided in favor of the landlord (which is a high percentage of language in most leases!), and change the language to something that better suits your needs. At other times, if the parties are negotiating from scratch, then an attorney will draft a new lease with all of the hard-fought negotiation terms within.
Commercial Tenancy Disputes
Commercial tenancy disputes can take a variety of forms: unlawful detainers, breaches of lease, failure to pay rent, subleasing, return of deposit, and various others. It is vital to resolve disputes between commercial landlords and tenant before they take up too much of your time, money, and energy. At Ledden Law Office, we strive to do this for our clients, often employing a creative problem-solving perspective. If a more extensive litigation process becomes necessary, our years of unlawful detainer and civil litigation experience will help you get the best possible result.
