The importance of legal counsel in commercial real estate matters

On Behalf of | May 22, 2023 | Commercial Real Estate Transactions & Leasing

Even if you’ve been through the process of buying or leasing commercial real estate many times before, it’s always a good idea to make sure you have legal assistance in place while you go through the motions. You’re spending a lot of money to find the right location for you and there are often many legal nuances to be aware of which vary from state to state, even city to city. 

Below are just a few of the reasons why you should consider having legal representation in your commercial real estate transaction:

1. They can help you with negotiations.

Your legal representative wants to make sure that you get the best possible deal you can for your money. As an uninvolved third party, they are in a good position to negotiate on price and contract terms. They can also use their experience to give some perspective about the proposed deal.

2. They understand commercial real estate law.

Even when you’ve been buying property for some time, every transaction is always different and can throw up unexpected complications. Working with someone who understands contracts, zoning laws, real estate and commercial law and the way that they intersect can help you avoid expensive mistakes.

3. They are there to protect your interests.

Having a legal representative work with you through the commercial real estate transaction is valuable as you have someone working for you, protecting your interests. They know what your rights are and what to look for in inspection reports. They will help you identify any “red flags” and handle all the paperwork. 

If you’re in the process of looking for a new commercial real estate property to buy or lease, finding out your options on identifying the best deal for you can be made easier with some legal help.
