Leases

A commercial lease is often a business’s largest financial commitment and its most significant source of latent risk. At ProTech Legal, we move beyond basic document review to provide aggressive, strategic negotiation for both landlords and tenants. In the high-stakes Scottish market, where 'upward-only' reviews and complex repairing obligations are the norm, we provide the technical scrutiny required to protect your cash flow and ensure your lease remains an asset, not a liability.

While most tenants focus on the headline rent, the true cost of a lease is often hidden in the 'unglamorous' clauses: Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) obligations, dilapidations, and service charge caps. We specialise in de-risking tenancies for SMEs and established brands alike.

For landlords and institutional investors, a lease is a vehicle for consistent yield and asset protection. We provide robust drafting designed to secure covenant strength and minimise management friction.
