Protecting your interests in commercial and retail lease agreements across Victoria.
What is Commercial and Retail Lease?
Commercial and retail leases are complex legal documents with significant long-term financial implications. GO Access Law advises businesses, landlords, and tenants on all aspects of commercial and retail leasing. Whether you are entering a new lease, renewing existing terms, or dealing with a lease dispute, our lawyers ensure you understand your rights and obligations before signing anything.
Our Process
A clear, structured approach that keeps you informed at every step.
Lease Review
We review the proposed lease or existing agreement in full, explaining every key term, obligation, and risk in plain language so you understand exactly what you are agreeing to.
Disclosure Obligations
For retail leases, we review the Disclosure Statement for accuracy and compliance with the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic) and advise on any non-compliant or missing disclosures.
Negotiation of Terms
We identify unfavourable lease terms and negotiate with the landlord or their solicitor to achieve better conditions including rent-free periods, make-good clauses, and option terms.
Lease Execution
Once terms are agreed, we review the final executed lease, advise on your obligations from day one, and ensure all required registrations and documentation are correctly completed.
Ongoing Lease Advice
We provide ongoing advice throughout the lease term including rent review disputes, subletting, assignment applications, breach notices, and end-of-lease make-good obligations.
