Have Questions About Commercial Property Law?
We Have the Answers
Commercial property lawyers manage a wide range of issues, including drafting and reviewing leases, handling property sales or acquisitions, resolving landlord-tenant disputes, navigating zoning or planning approvals, and managing property development contracts.
We provide tailored legal advice to ensure your property interests are protected.
A commercial lease is a critical agreement, and it’s essential to have it reviewed by an experienced property lawyer. We ensure the lease terms align with your business needs, protect you from hidden risks, and comply with Australian property laws.
Our team can also negotiate terms to secure a fair and balanced agreement.
The cost of legal services depends on the complexity of the matter—whether it’s a lease negotiation, property dispute, or transaction.
At our firm, we prioritise transparency by providing a clear breakdown of costs during your initial consultation and offering flexible fee arrangements to suit your needs.
What is the process for buying or selling commercial property?
The process includes due diligence, contract drafting, title searches, and negotiations. Our lawyers guide you through each step, ensuring the contract terms protect your interests and the transaction complies with all legal requirements.
How can I resolve a commercial lease dispute?
Commercial lease disputes, such as rent disagreements or maintenance obligations, can often be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. If litigation becomes necessary, our team will advocate strongly to achieve a favourable resolution.
What legal considerations apply to property development projects?
Property development involves zoning approvals, planning permits, contracts with contractors, and compliance with local and state regulations. We assist developers in navigating these complexities to keep projects on track and legally sound.
How do I manage disputes with tenants or landlords?
Landlord-tenant conflicts may arise over rent arrears, lease breaches, or property repairs. We provide practical solutions to resolve conflicts quickly, whether through negotiation, dispute resolution processes, or legal proceedings.
What should I include in a commercial property lease agreement?
A robust commercial lease should cover rent terms, responsibilities for repairs and maintenance, dispute resolution clauses, and renewal options. Our lawyers draft and review lease agreements to protect your rights and minimise risks.
Can I negotiate the terms of a commercial lease?
Yes, commercial lease terms are negotiable, including rent, lease duration, fit-out contributions, and exit clauses. Our lawyers ensure you negotiate terms that align with your business needs while avoiding unfavourable conditions.
How do I handle zoning or planning permit issues?
Zoning and planning regulations can impact how a commercial property is used or developed. We help you secure the necessary permits and address any challenges with local councils to keep your project moving forward.
What happens if a commercial property sale falls through?
If a property sale falls through, you may face financial or contractual consequences. We can help you enforce agreements, seek compensation, or resolve disputes efficiently to minimise disruptions to your business.

I highly recommend Pentana Stanton Lawyers.
From the very first conversation, my lawyer put my mind at ease and assured me they would handle everything on my behalf. Once I engaged their services, the entire process became smooth and stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about a thing—all I needed to do was show up to the hearings on time. Pentana Stanton truly took care of everything, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support.
