This work covers negotiating and securing reductions in rent for commercial leases when occupancy or market conditions have undermined the value of the leasehold. A solicitor in this area reviews lease terms, gathers evidence of diminished trade or occupancy, and drafts or negotiates concessions, surrender terms, or temporary rent relief agreements. They may raise or respond to rent review disputes, liaise with landlords, and arrange documentation to reflect any agreed reductions, deferrals, or variations.
