Commercial lease agreements

The negotiation of hundreds of lease agreements, representing both lessors and lessees, demonstrates that this is one of the fundamental specializations of the KPRF Law Office.  We work with the leading industry operators, real estate managers, investors and developers.  We provide services to large shopping malls, small and medium sized retail parks and also the most prestigious, modern office buildings.  Participation in numerous trade fairs and conferences in this field (often as speakers and training leaders), enables us to continually update our knowledge of the industry and maintain constant business contact with key lessees in the CEE region.

Our advice covers the areas of:

Representing lessees:

• supporting the development of a sales network by searching for new store locations;
• negotiation and renegotiation of the provisions of lease agreements;
• advice during negotiations with sub-contractors;
• optimization of profits by liquidating unprofitable sales points;
• preparation and implementation of staff reductions;
• representation during mediation or court proceedings;
