Learn how to effectively use escalation clauses in commercial leases to avoid future expenses.
This highly informative webinar is designed to enhance your knowledge and understanding of how various types of escalations, such as operating expenses, common area maintenance (CAM), and real estate taxes, among others, are addressed in today's commercial lease environment. The material will discuss how to effectively review and negotiate escalation provisions in commercial leases to minimize the payment of expenses when representing the tenant and maximize the collection of expenses when representing the landlord. In addition, the course will explore these critical economic provisions from the perspective of both the landlord and the tenant and discuss the importance of thoroughly reviewing commercial lease provisions and addressing any ambiguous language therein.
