Commercial Leasing Litigation

Koskie Minsky’s Commercial Leasing Litigation Group focuses on commercial leasing litigation for both landlords and tenants. Understanding that disputes can be costly and disruptive for business, we serve our clients with timely and cost effective resolution and litigation.

Group practitioners have extensive experience in all aspects of commercial leasing litigation, and are well versed in enforcement proceedings. We act on behalf of landlords, tenants, lenders and property managers who operate with leases relating to office, retail, industrial and mixed-use space, as well as leases on specialized places such as institutions, fitness and sports facilities. We have litigated, negotiated and considered disputes relating to many aspects of the commercial lease and the Commercial Tenancies Act. Our lawyers frequently represent clients at the highest levels of court. This includes advice and representation in connection with:

• Landlord’s rights and remedies arising from tenant’s defaults;
• Landlord’s infringement on tenant’s rights;
• Breach of covenants;
• Improper actions by landlord or interference of rights of tenant; and
• Renewal and termination issues.

Our Group has the knowledge and skills to negotiate complex leasing matters effectively and efficiently, and the depth of understanding to design and manage an effective and efficient litigation strategy. When appropriate, we provide realistic and practical resolution to landlord-tenant disputes without resorting to litigation.

We also provide a broad range of additional services relating to leasing matters, including drafting, negotiating and concluding all leasing documentation.
