Commercial Leasing and Evictions

Commercial Lease Drafting and Negotiation

Commercial leases often control the practical economics of a business relationship long after the lease is signed. Lamphere Legal assists with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating leases for landlords, tenants, property owners, and business operators.

The firm focuses on provisions affecting rent, extensions, renewal rights, repair obligations, maintenance, taxes, insurance, common area charges, parking, utilities, buildouts, signage, assignment, subleasing, defaults, remedies, and early termination.

Commercial Defaults, Holdovers, and Evictions

When a commercial lease relationship breaks down, the legal strategy often depends on the lease language, the notices already served, the status of possession, the amount of rent or other charges owed, and the business objectives of the landlord or tenant.

Lamphere Legal represents clients in commercial eviction matters, default disputes, possession actions, lease enforcement, settlement negotiations, surrender agreements, and lease exit negotiations.

Lease Exit and Resolution Strategy

Not every lease dispute should become prolonged litigation. In many commercial matters, the best outcome may involve a negotiated surrender, payment plan, lease amendment, early termination agreement, security deposit resolution, or structured move-out.

The firm works with clients to evaluate practical paths forward, including litigation where necessary and negotiated resolution where it better serves the client’s business or property goals.
