During lease negotiations, commercial property landlords and tenants seek to allocate between them the risks of personal injury and property damage occurring on the premises. These risks are often addressed in insurance and indemnification provisions.

This complimentary webinar will provide suggestions and strategies for negotiating and drafting commercial leases that appropriately address and allocate premises liability risks.

The program is geared to:

  • Property Owners

Speakers Sujata Yalamanchili and Michael Reyen of the law firm Hodgson Russ LLP will address the issues from both the landlord and tenant's perspectives, review court rulings in the area, and provide guidance in both negotiating and drafting the relevant lease clauses.

They will cover:

  1. The need to allocate risk between the landlord and tenant, including the risk of loss and property damage, and liability for accidents/injuries that take place in the leased space.
  • Types of occurrences that should be considered and guarded against.
  • Negotiating and drafting lease provisions that allocate and limit risk.
  1. How the landlord can avoid liability to a third party for property damage and injury at the leased property. 
  2. The role of indemnification clauses.
