It’s easy to focus on price when negotiating a commercial lease, but the task is more complex than getting the best financial deal. It’s about clarity, flexibility and protecting your position from day one. Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, understanding the legal and commercial implications of lease terms can make a significant difference to your business.
At Jamieson Law, we help you take control of lease negotiations. From preparing Heads of Terms to reviewing final clauses, our role is to secure terms that support your commercial objectives, while keeping the legal detail clear and manageable.
Lease negotiations can quickly become complex. It’s easy to miss hidden clauses or accept terms that don’t reflect your intentions. That’s where we come in. We help you see the whole picture and understand what you’re agreeing to.
We advise on:
These terms matter, and we’ll ensure they’re fair and workable, not just for today, but for the long term.
You’re not just looking for legal advice. You need someone who understands how your lease will affect your day-to-day business.
We take the time to understand your goals, then shape the negotiation strategy around what matters most to you. Whether you’re negotiating alongside lease drafting or approaching a lease renewal or extension, we’re here to help you secure the best terms.
If you’re not sure if a clause is standard or if any break clause wording protects your exit strategy, we’ll give you the straight answers and negotiate with clarity.
Our team collaborates with other solicitors, agents, or in-house counsel to ensure the process moves smoothly. We draft, review, and advise, but we also facilitate productive conversations.
Our goal is to prevent future conflict by resolving uncertainty now.
We’re commercially-minded lawyers who cut through the jargon. We help you understand your legal position, make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary risks.
If you’re entering into a new lease, reviewing an existing one, or looking to renegotiate terms after a change in circumstances, our team is here to support you.
Start your lease negotiation process with confidence and the right legal partner by your side.
