Commercial Leasing

How We Can Help

Commercial leases are among the most important agreements a business will enter into. Unlike residential tenancies, commercial leases in BC are not heavily regulated by statute, which means the terms are largely whatever the parties negotiate — and what you sign is what you get. These agreements affect your operational costs, your flexibility to grow or exit, and your long-term financial stability. Having experienced legal review before you commit is not just advisable — it is essential.

For tenants, we review and advise on all aspects of a proposed lease before signing: base rent and additional rent structures, operating cost and TMI clauses, permitted use provisions, exclusivity rights, options to renew, tenant improvement allowances, and early termination or assignment rights. Our goal is to ensure that what looks good on paper actually protects your business throughout the lease term.

For landlords, we draft and negotiate lease agreements that clearly define obligations, protect against tenant defaults, and address the full lifecycle of the tenancy — from offers to lease and initial documentation through to renewals, amendments, subleases, and dispute resolution. Whether you are entering a new commercial tenancy or managing an existing one, our team brings practical commercial leasing experience to every file.
