Commercial Lease Review Attorney — New York
We review commercial leases for hospitality, retail, and regulated businesses — focused on the provisions that actually determine whether the deal is workable.
We flag the provisions that matter and ignore the boilerplate.
Use clauses, CO contingencies, and licensing-failure exits.
Most reviews delivered in 3–5 business days.
What a real lease review looks like
We read the lease against the business plan. Use clause, term and renewal, rent and escalation, build-out and TI, exits, assignment, sublet, default, and personal guaranty — each measured against your operating reality.
For hospitality tenants
Licensing contingencies, certificate of occupancy representations, late-hour rights, and outdoor use are non-negotiable items we work hard on.
Deliverable
A redline, an issues memo, and a working call with you and your broker.
