Commercial lease
Our lawyers work with groups, retail chains and SMEs, lessees and lessors alike, on all types of lease: commercial, derogatory, precarious or sublease. We secure your contracts at every stage.
Our lawyers' skills
Our lawyers are there to help you secure your rental relationships at every stage: lease conclusion, negotiation, renegotiation, assignment, termination or litigation.
Finding the right lease for your needs
Whether you're a lessee or lessor, our lawyers can help you choose and optimize your contracts: commercial leases, professional leases, derogatory or precarious leases, or subleases.
We draft and negotiate the most important clauses: rent, duration, service charges, security deposit, work, indexation, early termination, etc.
In the event of renegotiation, we know how to identify the right levers to rebalance conditions.
As a result, you move forward with a contract in line with your profitability and development objectives.
Manage work, charges and compliance with standards
Distribution of works, rental charges, diagnostics, ERP compliance or accessibility: these are all items that have a direct impact on your profitability.
Our lawyers identify hidden risks in the lease, negotiate balanced clauses and ensure that your obligations remain manageable.
You avoid unpleasant surprises and keep control of your investments.
Supporting the transformation of your business
Despecialization, subletting, transfer of head office, change of use: any change in the operation of the premises requires a secure lease.
We can help you obtain the lessor's agreement or adapt the clauses to preserve your freedom of action.
Our aim is to enable you to develop your business without the risk of breach or litigation.
Securing lease terms, renewals and termination
Lease duration, renewal or termination can entail costs and bottlenecks, and require adherence to a strict timetable and procedure.
We can help you anticipate deadlines, negotiate appropriate exit clauses (rent review, termination or renewal, three-yearly notice), and provide a legal framework for the end-of-lease procedures.
Buying or selling your leasehold rights
Leasehold rights can be bought or sold: this allows you to transfer an existing commercial lease with its conditions and remaining term.
This is often a key step in setting up a business in a strategic location, or increasing the value of a leasehold interest.
Our lawyers secure the transaction from start to finish, helping you to increase efficiency and enhance the value of your asset.
Resolving rental disputes
Late payment, refusal to renew, disputed vacancy, eviction compensation...
When a dispute arises, our team intervenes quickly to protect your interests.
We seek negotiated solutions and, if necessary, take your case to the specialized courts.
You regain control, without letting conflict paralyze your business.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Signing a lease without the advice of a specialist lawyer is taking an unnecessary risk.
Every business has its own specificities, and there is no standard model that works for everyone. Our lawyers will identify the most appropriate contracts (commercial lease, professional lease, derogatory or precarious lease, or sublease) and the clauses that need to be customized and secured (duration, works, charges, sublease...) to ensure that the lease is a lasting partner to your growth, without hampering the development of your business.
Certain clauses have a direct impact on profitability and your freedom of action: allocation of charges and works, fixed term, rent ceiling, destination clause, early termination...
Our lawyers analyze and negotiate every point to avoid future blockages and maintain control, even in the event of rapid development or a change of activity.
Yes, and it happens all the time. A rent increase, a change of activity, a new real estate strategy: many events can justify renegotiation.
Our lawyers identify the appropriate legal levers (triennial revision, indexation clause, exceptional circumstances) and lead the discussions with the lessor to defend your interests, without damaging the commercial relationship.
Work, charges, use of the premises, early termination... Even with a well-drafted lease, disagreements can arise.
Our lawyers analyze the clauses and exchanges, identify your levers for action and secure your positions. The aim: to avoid a deadlock, safeguard your rights, and find a favorable outcome, whether in court or through negotiation.
Lease expiry is a key stage: renewal and renegotiation or termination, handover of keys and compensation.
It is often a time when conflicts between lessor and lessee crystallize, and must be anticipated. Whether you're a lessor or a lessee, our lawyers anticipate the stakes, analyze the market and build a negotiation strategy in line with your needs.
