Commercial tenancy law

Our services in commercial tenancy law include the drafting and review of tenancy agreements for stores, offices, surgeries, warehouses and other commercial premises. We make sure that important clauses are precisely formulated - e.g. on the lease term and renewal option, rent adjustment (index-linked rent), allocation of operating and ancillary costs, maintenance obligations and provisions on protection against competition or product range restrictions in shopping centers. For long-term tenancies in particular, it is crucial to cover all eventualities in the contract, as subsequent changes are often difficult or costly.

We are at your side when it comes to terminating commercial tenancies. Whether it concerns the termination of a tenancy agreement, dismantling obligations when moving out or disputes about cosmetic repairs - we know the case law and support you in enforcing your claims or defending against unjustified claims. If a tenant does not pay their rent or a landlord acts in breach of contract, we will develop the optimum strategy (including eviction proceedings or interim injunctions) to quickly restore clarity.

Our advice on commercial tenancy law is always geared towards our client's objectives: If, as a landlord, you want to achieve the most profitable and secure letting possible, we help you to minimize your risks and exploit earnings potential (e.g. through graduated rent or indexation). As a commercial tenant, on the other hand, we support you in achieving flexible and fair contractual conditions, for example with regard to subletting rights, options to extend or clauses on the obligation to operate.
