The agenda put together with the help of our advisory council and will cover a wide range of topical issues including:
• Offers to lease from both the landlord & tenant perspectives: What to watch out for?
• Negotiating strategies in a turbulent economic environment: Understand the deal, resolve key issues and close the transaction.
