Negotiate the Lease: Maneuver the Maze of Real Estate Options (OM)
Will your law firm upsize, downsize or "right size"? In this economy, you have options! There are so many terms to understand. You need to know the "rights": rights to assign, subletting rights, rights to contract and expand, rights of first refusal, rights to consolidate or merge, rights to move equipment from location to location and more. Learn how large and small firms alike need to negotiate favorable terms in their leases to prepare for the best of times and the worst of real estate times.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine lease contraction and/or lease termination options and how to prepare a cost benefit analysis to see what is viable
