A multitude of issues can arise during the term of a real estate lease and/or at the expiration of a lease term that require in-house counsel to get involved. Many of these issues can be more complex than one would imagine, can cost your company unnecessary money and are often not fully addressed in the lease agreement.

A lease generally contemplates a long-term relationship between a landlord and a tenant. But once the lease is executed, you have only completed the first step. This panel will discuss issues that can arise after the lease has been executed and how to deal with them in a practical manner.

This program outline addresses the following questions: What is a green lease? Why a green lease? How do you measure carbon/energy reduction and sustainability? How do you make a sustainable design/operation part of your leasing program? Other key green considerations are also covered.

Coverage of the important items to address when handling a special real estate sale, focusing primarily on a Sale/Leaseback transaction (in which your company sells real estate it owns to another party and then leases the same property back from that party to free up the capital invested in the property for other uses) and a sale of real estate under Section 1031 of the US Tax Code in which you defer taxes on the dollar gain from the real estate sale by using those proceeds to buy other “like kind” real estate (either before or after the sale) pursuant to the specific conditions of Section

This program will provide a basic level survey of some different types of real estate leases, featuring ground leases (including both outparcel and "pad-only" deals), building leases, space leases, and air rights leases, a discussion of the differences between each type of lease, and some guidance regarding when you might prefer to use one lease type versus another. The discussion will also include other real estate agreements used to convey a real estate interest, such as condominiums, easements, usufructs and licenses.

Learn about tax clauses, common area maintenance and operation expense, exclusivity and restricted use clauses, condemnation, and indemnification.
