Russell Kennedy Webinar: Lease restructures – Divesting leasehold interests during the term

Commentators have speculated about the impact of COVID-19 on the commercial tenancy market, anticipating that some tenants will be seeking to reduce their tenancy holdings as a result of changes to the way we work and the economic impact of COVID-19 on their business.

Join our experienced leasing practitioners as we explore options available to property owners and tenants in circumstances where a party is seeking to divest its leasehold interests.

In this live webinar, members of our Property & Development team will cover:

Surrender of lease;
Assignment of lease;
Subletting;
Divestment and incentive or rent deferral issues; and
Issues for New South Wales and Victorian tenancies.

This webinar will give you an understanding of the legal framework pertaining to divesting leasehold interests, including the options available to the parties and practical considerations.

Joining us will be members of our Property & Development team in Melbourne and Sydney, including Mark McKinley, Emma Dunlevie, Sara Hatcher, Samantha Taylor, Caroline Snaidr, Melanie Young and Sylvia Mansour.
