Its premises are one of the company’s main assets. They are sometimes the place where the turnover is made. The company’s address is part of its identity and occasionally of its success.   

A commercial lease is the legal tool for the enjoyment of the premises; it is therefore one of the most important conventions for a company.

The legal status of commercial leases is technically complex. The legislation dates back to 1953 and corresponds with a bygone period of economic reconstruction. The gap with the reality of business leads to a number of difficulties between the lessor and the tenant.   

Our major concern is to draw the company manager’s attention to the consequences of the lease, to the main clauses of the lease agreement, the rights, prerogatives and obligations of the contracting parties. As soon as it is drafted, the conditions for the expiry of the lease, its renewal, the revision of the rent, the transfer of the entitlement to the lease, the transfer of the premises,… should be taken into account.
