Legal Insight on Lease Issues due to COVID.

In this episode, I spoke with Larry Hutcher, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner of Davidoff, Hutcher, and Citron. Larry is an expert litigator and concentrates on representing business owners in solving their business issues including matters regarding their real estate.

We talk about what you can do if your business has been a victim of COVID and you can’t meet your lease obligations. An unfortunate reality of the coronavirus is that many businesses have seen a material impact to their bottom lines which has affected their ability to pay their rent. There are a lot of tenants that just don’t know what to do. So I thought it was best to speak with Larry, an expert, to shed some light on what can be done.

Larry has built his career focused on commercial law and litigation. He has significant experience in real estate litigation representing tenants in lease disputes as well as development issues. He’s been published in the New York Times, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal as well as numerous real estate publications including Real Estate Weekly.

Even with the best of negotiations of an office lease with the most tenant-friendly terms, things can go wrong, which is why we looked to Larry for insight.

Today’s show will help answer some of the questions from tenants about how to get out of their existing lease obligations and trying to understand their options. Listen to what Larry has to say!
