The Continuing Evolution of COVID-19 Retail Rent Decisions and the Impact on Leasing (Part 2)
When construing lease obligations, courts generally attempt to enforce what the parties intended at the time of contract formation.

Building on the last episode, Elizabeth Schrero returns alongside hosts Eric Greenberg and James O’Brien to discuss key insights learned from recent retail rent decisions, as well as strategies that can be adopted for drafting and negotiating both sides of leases, and what lease parties can anticipate going forward.
