Commercial & Retail Lease Lawyer


property

If you are a business owner and about to enter a commercial/retail lease, it is essential you receive advice from an experienced commercial leasing lawyer. Most commercial leases in Victoria are governed by the Retail Leases Act.

Our commercial leasing lawyers have years of experience identifying all the potential issues and making sure that your lease protects you, whether you are the landlord or tenant. Often one minor change in the wording of a retail lease agreement can save you thousands of dollars in expensive litigation. We are able to assist you with:

  • Litigation Law
  • Drafting and reviewing retail and commercial leases
  • Preparing disclosure statements
  • Negotiation for the terms of the lease (including rent, transfer options, duration, exit and renewal options)
  • Subletting of premises
  • Dispute resolution (including at VCAT)

Need Your Lease Dispute Expertly Resolved?

What do you do when it all goes wrong? Your tenant may have stopped paying rent, damaged the property or walked out on the lease. Your landlord may be terminating the lease or refusing to make necessary repairs to the property.

We will review the lease documents and advise you on your rights. Our policy is to try and reach a negotiated settlement wherever possible as this will save you time and money. If this is not possible we have considerable experience in preparing and defending VCAT applications and will work with you to bring about the best possible result.

Our Happy Clients

The Difference Is In Our Level Of Experience Defending The Most Difficult Cases & Our Rigorous Approach To Each Matter


  • I have known Brett Samuel and Rosendorff Lawyers for over 18 months. Brett is a commercially astute lawyer who provides excellent service, quick turnaround, responsive and useful advice and above all understands that clients expect results not just legal gobbledygook.

    I have referred Brett to a number of clients requiring commercial legal expertise and each has commented on his service and value for money approach to the law.

    I have also personally engaged Brett on a number of commercial and private matters and have found him to be an excellent ally. His advice is highlighted by providing options to the client but importantly, recommending a course of action that minimises risk and maximises outcomes. To date this approach has proven to be very valuable and what I, as a client, expects.

    I have no hesitation in recommending Brett for any commercial matter that you need advice on.

  • I have used the services of Rosendorff Lawyers for a number of years now and have found them to be a great asset to my Business Sunburst Group. Their advice concerning contractual law and from time to time commercial litigation has been indispensable. Brett Samuel is always a pleasure to deal with as he is meticulous in his research prior to any legal action we might be considering. My association with Rosendorff Lawyers has helped my business to make the correct informeddecisions and in doing so has enabled me to save many thousands of dollars that otherwise uniformed decisions may have cost me.
