There are many issues over and above reviewing and negotiating the contents of a leasing document that a lawyer must take into account to complete a transaction. From the type of property involved to the various lease provisions, an attorney needs to gain familiarity with them in order to be an effective advocate and counselor for the client. Drawing on his years of experience as a commercial real estate lawyer, author Sidney G. Saltz shares his knowledge and insights about the leasing process in this general guide for lawyers and law students. Among the common issues that the lawyer faces in a commercial lease transaction, author Sidney G. Saltz begins with descriptions of various property types and leasing situations as they inevitably have significant impacts on the lease agreements relating to them. Following this is a discussion of the various lease provisions which are usually found in all leases, whether they are industrial/warehouse, office, retail or other. The book also explains how leases within each category may differ, based on the physical situation and the nature of the deal, and discusses provisions unique to leases pertaining to each of those types or uses.
