Commercial: common questions
Do you act for both landlords and tenants on commercial leases?
Yes. We prepare and review commercial leases for lessors and act for tenants taking on premises, so whichever side you are on we can help, provided we do not have a conflict of interest. We cannot act for both parties to the same lease.
Can you help me buy or sell a business in the Great Lakes area?
We regularly act on the sale and purchase of local businesses, including the contract, due diligence and settlement.
