Tenant Defaults and Breaches
Demands and Breach Notices
Assignments and Subleases
Lease Renewals and Variations
Property Management and Agency Arrangements
Repairs and Maintenance
Building Matters

Preparation for Future Acquisition or Disposal
For Property Owners
Arena Law works with property owners, investors and the professionals who advise them.
We understand the role played by property agents, property managers and other property professionals in maintaining client relationships and progressing transactions. When a legal issue arises, we aim to provide the following:
Clear advice
Legal advice that is understandable and directed to the issue that needs to be resolved.
Commercial context
Advice that considers the underlying transaction, asset and client relationship.
Responsiveness
Timely communication when a matter requires action.
Practical solutions
Advice designed to help progress the matter rather than create unnecessary complexity.
Our objective is to provide property owners with experienced legal advice while working constructively with the professionals already involved with the asset. If you are a property owner or investor needing trusted, experienced legal advice, please contact the team to find out more about what we can do for you.
Portfolio Advice
Legal advice throughout the life of your asset
Owning commercial property involves a continuing series of legal and commercial decisions. Arena Law provides legal support throughout that lifecycle.
Acquire
We assist with contracts, due diligence, existing leases, title and property investigations, transaction structuring and completion.
Own
We provide ongoing advice on the legal issues that arise in the operation and management of commercial property.
Lease
We advise on new leases, renewals, rent reviews, assignments, subleases, variations, landlord consents, defaults and surrenders.
Operate
We assist with property management arrangements, building matters, repair and maintenance issues, service agreements and other operational documentation.
Develop
Where an asset is being developed or repositioned, we assist with project structures, development agreements, financing and associated property matters.
Dispose
We advise on the legal aspects of preparing, negotiating and completing the disposal of commercial property assets.
Continuity through the asset lifecycle
Our experience across acquisition, leasing, ownership and disposal means we can consider an individual legal issue in the context of the asset as a whole. That continuity can be particularly valuable for owners and investors managing an ongoing property portfolio.
Why owners choose Arena Law
We understand property from the owner's perspective. Our experience comes from working within a property investment environment and advising owners throughout the lifecycle of their assets. We are deliberately small, which means our clients deal directly with experienced property lawyers.
