It is in the complex and evolving field of commercial leases, largely shaped by case law, that the firm has built its reputation for expertise over many years, thanks to Jean-Pierre Blatter’s continuous commitment to publishing and teaching, enabling cases to be handled efficiently.
The firm assists and advises landlords and tenants alike in the negotiation, drafting and management of their various leases of commercial premises (office buildings, shops, branches, shopping centres) or industrial premises (logistics and specialised warehouses, workshops, research centres, laboratories, etc.).
The firm also handles business relocations, as well as rent reviews and lease renewals, eviction compensation proceedings and all other matters relating to commercial leases.
The partners and their associates have long and proven experience of the issues involved in taking, converting or vacating business premises (negotiating and drafting leases and assignments of leasehold rights or businesses, co-ownership and planning consents, administrative authorisations, negotiating tenants’ departure, conversion or reinstatement works, etc.).
Handling cases of the same kind for both landlords and tenants, whether on rent setting, the right to lease renewal or eviction compensation disputes, for example, means approaching each situation without bias and taking the appropriate action with full knowledge of the facts.
