    This work covers the rental and use of retail premises, and the legal framework that governs shop leases, leases of commercial premises, and related property rights. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates and revises shop leases, reviews rent and service charge provisions, handles assignments or lease exits, and advises on covenants, repairs, options, break clauses and eviction or termination issues. Practical issues include landlord consent, tenant improvements, and compliance with property and planning rules.

    Will Newman Your solicitor Will Newman Associate Solicitor
    “I have used Lucy's services on 2 separate occasions, both times in relation to retail premises. Lucy is informative, keeps in touch regularly and explained everything in a "non" lawyer way to make sure I fully understood what was happening asking the way. The second time of working with Lucy she actually saved us a lot of time and money by amending what the landlord's solicitor was recommending. I would definitely recommend Lucy and will always use her services in future if and when required. ”
