Leasing a commercial property is a detailed process whether you’re a commercial landlord or a tenant. A Colorado commercial real estate attorney who understands the nuances of commercial lease agreements can help you negotiate favorable terms and conditions and address the various issues that can arise when renting a commercial space. 

As you look for the best commercial real estate attorney for your needs, consider whether they have experience in the following three areas: 

1. Buying and Selling Experience

Commercial landlords and tenants should work with an attorney who has experience buying and selling commercial real estate – no exceptions.

A commercial real estate attorney can manage delicate negotiations, due diligence, title and survey examinations, escrow matters, and environmental property reviews. 

A generic contract may not adequately address your real estate challenges. A commercial real estate attorney can assist you in reaching an agreement that is in your best interests. 

2. Dispute Representation

A commercial real estate attorney will also be your advocate and represent your interests should a dispute arise. For instance, a skilled commercial real estate attorney can help landlords collect unpaid rent, evict a bad tenant, and handle security deposit issues. Alternatively, a commercial real estate attorney can advise on tenant’s rights, ensuring reported issues are addressed promptly.

Landlord-tenant disputes can be stressful for all parties. You will want an attorney who can be your legal confidante and representative in dealing with every aspect of these unpleasant and adversarial situations. Furthermore, you want someone who seeks to resolve disputes quickly, diplomatically, and favorably. 

3. Lease Review & Negotiation

Entering into a long-term contract can put you in a vulnerable spot, as there are so many contingencies to consider. 

A commercial real estate attorney will ensure your interests are protected long-term by advising you of potential pitfalls within a lease’s terms and leading negotiations to reach a favorable agreement.
