Approaching Negotiations - Understanding the Bigger Picture in Agreements for Lease

Introduction

This virtual classroom seminar will focus on understanding how best to approach negotiations of agreements for lease. It is absolutely key to understand and appreciate how these agreements fit into the bigger development picture, so that their terms can be drafted and agreed to reflect what is happening in the background as well as what has been agreed with your client. With so many different parties involved, how do you balance all of their different objectives and ultimately do the best possible job for your clients?

By the end of this course, you will have gained insight into how to approach negotiations of agreements for lease (whether acting for landlord or tenant), a deeper understanding of all of the issues involved, and the bigger picture will put you in a far stronger position when approaching these types of negotiations.
