In Practice: Recent Successes
Behind every lease is a story. These examples show how strategic advice, delivered quickly and clearly, can protect your position and lead to a better outcome.
Business Purchase - Make Good Obligations
A client buying an established business was being granted a new lease. The make-good clause required them to strip the premises back to bare bones - removing every fixture and fitting ever installed, not just those they were acquiring.
We negotiated this back to a fairer outcome: the client only needed to remove the items they were purchasing with the business saving significant cost and stress down the track.
Struggling Tenant – Managed Exit Strategy
A client was struggling to sell her business, which wasn’t turning a profit, and was falling behind on rent.
We negotiated an arrangement allowing her to pay rent in arrears while catching up, then surrender the lease and secure the release of a personal guarantee with make-good obligations delayed until a new tenant was found. This kept open the possibility of minimising liability if the new tenant took on the fitout.

Frequently asked questions
Commercial property transactions often involve more than just the contract for sale. I review leases and tenancy schedules, check for GST or capital works implications, assess title and planning restrictions, and help you understand how the property’s existing use or income stream affects the deal. I ensure the contract terms reflect what’s been agreed commercially and identify where risks need to be negotiated out.
Yes, and early review makes a real difference. I assess the draft contract for legal risks, missing disclosures, timing issues, and terms that may not align with your goals. I also flag commercial red flags such as lease clauses that may deter buyers, special conditions that shift risk unfairly, or errors in the annexures. You’ll get plain-English advice, a clear summary of key points, and suggested amendments if needed.
Absolutely. When buying a tenanted commercial property, the lease is often as important as the land itself. I review rent terms, make-good clauses, outgoings allocations, renewal options, and any inconsistencies between the lease and the contract. I’ll also let you know if the lease terms are likely to affect valuation or future flexibility.
You’ll want to ensure all material facts are disclosed and that any leases, title restrictions, or GST treatment are accurately reflected in the contract. I help vendors prepare the contract so that it’s clean, compliant, and unlikely to cause issues during the sale process. That includes clarifying your obligations, cleaning up outdated clauses, and reviewing disclosures to avoid later disputes or delays.
As soon as you’re considering making an offer, preparing to sell, or reviewing a heads of agreement. I can help identify issues before terms are locked in, review or prepare the contract, and guide you through settlement without surprises. Early input often avoids costly amendments or time delays later on.
I offer fixed-scope services so you know exactly what I’ll be doing, what’s included, and how much it will cost. That might include a one-off contract review, full transaction support, or lease and disclosure compliance. No time-charging, just clearly defined legal advice that matches your commercial objectives.
