The purpose of this volume is straightforward. A Broker is an essential component in most commercial leases. Often the driver of the lease, the Broker’s contribution can significantly impact a client’s business for many years. Landlords historically own the turf – they control the property and usually the lease form. But financial and market leverage make nearly every lease an opportunity for meaningful negotiation. The savvy Broker, whether representing the landlord or the tenant, is a valuable resource for the client. The Brokers manual has been developed in order to explain and highlight practical issues, provide insights, and supplement existing information.
