Our experienced commercial property lawyers can ensure you comply with the legal requirements of occupying property, whether you’re a tenant or an owner-occupier. The approach we take is always pragmatic, accessible and commercial and we tailor our advice to the size of your business, as well as the relevant legal issues.
Across-the-board support on leases
We can help you with the whole range of issues relating to business occupation, for example,
- negotiating the lease documentation
- advising you on compliance matters, including title, licences and other paperwork
- explaining your lease obligations and how to get the best from them
- changing the terms of a lease or resolving disputes.
In doing so, we can also call on the services of our respected property dispute resolution team, who can advise on a range of options from mediation to litigation.
Specialist knowledge of Scottish leases
The legal issues around leases in Scotland are very different to those in England and Wales. With all Scottish commercial property, it’s therefore essential to get expert local advice. As an independent Scottish firm, we can provide that.
Multi-sector and nationwide
Across Scotland, we’re proud of a client list that includes nationwide retailers, hospitality & leisure businesses (including some of Edinburgh’s best-known restaurants), and corporate occupiers.
We offer advice on anything from single units to multi-occupancy developments.
With specialist commercial property lawyers in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee, we understand the marketplace in each locality.
