In the wake of the global pandemic, retail leasing law has seen
a shift in the balance of power, with more creative and complex
agreements now being negotiated. Here, a partner with over two
decades of experience unpacks these changes and more.
In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Bartier Perry partner Andrew Grima about why legal work
in retail leasing has been so stimulating for him across his
career, the state of affairs in this space over the past year and
the perfect storm that has emerged, the need for more creativity
amid greater complexity in agreements, and the solutions that have
been required.
Mr Grima also delves into whether solutions can be applied broadly
or if all matters must be taken on a case-by-case basis,
legislative changes that are influencing negotiations, managing
clients’ idiosyncratic needs as well as practitioners’ needs, what
lawyers in other practice areas can take away from the recent
experience of lawyers in retail leasing, and how best to liaise
with in-house legal teams moving forward.
