Drafting / Negotiation of commercial lease

The commercial lease is strategic for the merchant: it allows him to enjoy his location. The rule in setting up a point of sale is known: the location, then the location, finally the location. It directly determines the success of the establishment of a sign on a catchment area.

Regarding the provisions of the lease, while some are the transcription of the mandatory rules of the status of commercial leases, others are conventional and must be negotiated with the lessor whenever possible.

They have a significant impact on the level of charges likely to weigh on the lessee and the patrimoniality of his lease.

The clauses relating to the destination, the duration of the lease, the activity, the sign, the works, the transmission of the lease, the transactions on the land and the capital of the lessee are to be examined carefully.

An experience in commercial leases for all types of locations

Our commercial leasing lawyers have acquired a recognized practice of commercial leases: they audit, negotiate and draft commercial leases for retail clients (head of network, franchisors, branch dealers, etc.), institutional lessees and independent traders (franchisees) both on downtown and peripheral locations, with natural or institutional lessors.

As such, our lawyers regularly negotiate, on behalf of retailers, locations in shopping centres, for small or medium-sized areas.

Gouache Avocats has many benchmarks of special conditions with the main donors: UNIBAIL-RODAMCO-WESTFIELD, KLEPIERRE, CEETRUS, HAMMERSON, CASINO, AEW, GALIMMO, CARMILA, MERCYALIS or ALTAREA, for example, whose particular organization and mode of operation we know.

In this context, Gouache Avocats works in concert with the advice in places of commerce (marketers, developers) mandated by the brands as part of the negotiation of the locations and their conditions.
