Join us for the latest in our Boardroom Breakfast Briefing series as we welcome guests to our new Manchester office at 125 Deansgate.

Hosted by Graham Small and presented by Thomas Pearson, Head of Real Estate Commercial, and Richard Glover, Partner in our Property Litigation team, this practical briefing will explore the key legal and commercial issues businesses face when occupying commercial premises, from securing a lease through to renewal, relocation or exit.
Having recently completed our own office move, we have experienced many of the challenges and commercial considerations involved, not only as legal advisers but as occupiers ourselves. Drawing on that first-hand experience, alongside our work advising business occupiers, the briefing will cover:

• locating suitable premises, heads of terms and lease negotiations
• managing occupation, alterations and fit-outs
• renewals, rent reviews, break rights and disputes
• dilapidations, relocation and exit.

Whether you are looking for new premises, reviewing your current arrangements or approaching lease expiry, the briefing will provide practical guidance to help you plan ahead and avoid common pitfalls.
