Commercial Leasing Disputes

Commercial landlord and tenant relationships are always evolving. When differences of opinion or disputes arise that cannot be easily resolved directly between the parties, our Commercial Leasing Group provides timely and strategic advice to national, regional and local property managers, landlords, and tenants. The team is led by Nicole Mangan, who is recognized by Best Lawyers® in Commercial Leasing Law.
Our clients range from sophisticated landlords, institutional tenants, and large property managers that have responsibility for multiple locations to those involved in single property locations.
We guide clients through negotiations or mediation proceedings to resolve disputes, the exercise of self-help remedies, or the institution and defence of court or arbitration proceedings, and advise on a wide-variety of commercial leasing issues:
- Abandoned premises or goods
- Additional rent charges
- Breach of lease
- Contractual interpretation
- Damages
- Default remedies
- Environmental investigation and remediation costs
- Evictions and recovery of possession
- Exclusivity provisions
- Failure to pay rent and rent distress
- Fixture ownership
- Human rights and employment laws and the impact on tenancy and property management matters
