Property aspects of business transactions

Crownmark Lawyers advises clients on property-related issues that arise as part of business sales, acquisitions, and restructures. Property interests are often central to a business transaction and can materially affect value, timing, and risk if not addressed carefully.

​

We assist with reviewing and managing property arrangements connected to business transactions, including owned premises, leased sites, and property held within associated structures. Our role is to ensure that property issues are identified early and addressed in a way that supports the overall transaction objectives.

​

Crownmark Lawyers advises on matters such as lease assignments, landlord consents, property conditions within business sale agreements, and the interaction between property documentation and transaction timelines. We work closely with clients and their advisers to coordinate property-related documentation with contractual, financial, and operational considerations.

​

Where a transaction involves multiple sites or complex leasing arrangements, we provide structured advice to manage risk and avoid delays at settlement. Our approach is practical and coordinated, ensuring that property issues do not become an obstacle to completing the broader transaction.

• Property review in business sales and acquisitions
