Commenting on lease renewals, Surbhi said: “At Sweeney Miller Law, our Commercial Property team regularly helps both commercial landlords and tenants as lease renewals come up. We can advise on whether the existing lease falls under the Act, draft and serve Section 25 and 26 Notices, and advise on any legal action should the renewal be contested. Our Commercial Dispute Resolution team is also best placed to robustly assist with any litigation issues that arise when renewals become contested.
Each lease is different and we aim to ensure that our clients get the best possible outcome during the negotiations based on their circumstances and existing lease conditions. The team works with large established commercial clients, through to fledgling businesses that may have never dealt with a renewal before.”
