FAQ

Commercial real estate transactions are not legally required to involve an attorney in Texas or Georgia, but the risks of proceeding without one are significant. Purchase contracts, title exceptions, environmental liabilities, zoning restrictions, and seller representations all require careful legal analysis. Our CRE attorneys protect your investment throughout the transaction.
Key provisions include: base rent and escalation schedule, CAM charges (definition, caps, and audit rights), permitted use and exclusivity, personal guarantee scope and carve-outs, buildout allowance and delivery condition, early termination rights, renewal options and rent at renewal, and assignment/subletting rights. These provisions can collectively represent millions of dollars in value over a 5–10 year lease term.
