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.

In this webinar, our experienced leasing practitioners explored options available to property owners and tenants in circumstances where a party is seeking to divest its leasehold interests.

In this webinar, our Property & Development team covered NSW and Victorian laws relating to:

    • Surrender of lease;
    • Assignment of lease;
    • Subletting; and
    • Divestment and incentive or rent deferral issues.

The 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.

This webinar was presented by our Property & Development team in Melbourne and Sydney, including Mark McKinleyEmma DunlevieSara HatcherSamantha TaylorCaroline SnaidrMelanie Young and Sylvia Mansour.
