Owners of commercial real estate can often realize significant benefits, including returns on an investment or the generation of income through the operation of a business or leasing space to commercial tenants. However, there are a variety of legal issues that can affect buyers and sellers of commercial real estate, and if they are not addressed properly, they could lead to financial losses for either party, or they may affect the parties' ability to complete the transaction. Parties will want to make sure their rights will be protected and that they are taking the correct steps to finalize a transaction while addressing any concerns that may affect the use of the property in the future.
