Question
Hi Peter,
When I lease a commercial office space, is it absolutely necessary to hire an attorney to go over the contract? I can see somewhat if it applys to me finding the property myself, but would needing an attorney to go over the contract apply to my locating the property through a realtor as well?
Thank you!
Mike E.
Mike, if you have an attorney for your business, ask him. I have been in commercial real estate as a Realtor since 1971, I have always used an attorney for any lease that I have had for my company(s) or for any office(s) that I have leased. Best of luck!/ Peter
