Drafting a Retail Leasewith expert lawyers

A Retail Lease Agreement sets out the rights and obligations of the owner of a commercial property used for retail purposes (the landlord or lessor) and the party occupying the property (the tenant or lessee).

It covers important matters such as the length of the lease, termination rights, defect management, outgoings, fit-out works, limits on use of the premises, subletting, and other rights and responsibilities of the landlord and tenant. When preparing a Retail Lease Agreement, it’s important to engage a lawyer to help ensure you are appropriately protected.

Our packages for drafting a retail lease start at $500 + GST.

This includes a Retail Lease Agreement drafted to your specific requirements, phone consultations with our lawyers to guide you through the process, and one complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide.

Please note that this package does not include registration of the lease, tax advice, or any direct negotiations or correspondence with the landlord or their lawyers. This scope also assumes that the transaction does not involve any employment or other compliance issues.

We handle everything by phone, email and video call, so you never need to visit an office. Once you request a quote, one of our legally trained consultants will get back to you within one business day with a fixed-fee proposal. If you accept, we will pair you with a specialist lawyer who will guide you through the process. All documents are delivered digitally, and you can communicate with your lawyer in the way that suits you best. It is the same quality legal advice you would get from a traditional firm, just without the commute, hourly billing surprises or the formality.

We operate completely online, so we can help you wherever you are in Australia. We work from The Commons Central, a co-working space in Chippendale, Sydney, but our lawyers also work flexibly across various locations.
