In times of financial uncertainty, the rate of disputes involving commercial leases tends to increase.

With the spectre of Brexit and IndyRef2 on the horizon, this seminar will focus on parts of commercial leases that give rise to disputes, providing guidance on both prevention and cure.

The seminar will deal with, in particular:-

  • Enforcing payment obligations;
  • Enforcing non-payment obligations;
  • Lease Termination; and
  • Useful clauses to help streamline disputes.
  • It will provide an overview of the options available for remedying disputes, and highlight how small variances in drafting can result in big differences for landlords and tenants.

    The event begins at 2pm. Delegate registration is open from 1:30pm.
