GOODWYN HERRERA SOLICITORS
Commercial Leases, Assignments, Variations and Extensions
Commercial leases shape the relationship between landlords and tenants, defining rights, responsibilities, and long-term commitments. Whether you are granting, taking on, transferring, or amending a lease, the terms must be clear and commercially workable. Poorly drafted or misunderstood leases can cause costly disputes and limit business flexibility.
At GWH Solicitors, we advise landlords, tenants, and investors on every aspect of commercial leasing, ensuring agreements support their goals and protect their interests.
