Whether your business is renewing an existing lease, relocating, or expanding, it's critical to maximize your negotiating leverage, identify potentially costly issues that may arise during a lease term, and manage the leasing cycle effectively, from start to finish, so that you protect your company against unexpected liability and costs.
In this workshop, we will discuss the current trends in the San Diego County real estate market as well as cover how to identify and address common legal issues in leasing transactions in order to save money not only on rent, but also on operating and property tax expenses. We will discuss common issues relating to tenant improvement construction and budgeting, including the impact of new energy efficiency regulations in California.
