How much does it cost for an Attorney to review commercial lease documents?

It depends on how many pages the lease contains. Attorneys bill by the hour and the rate is based on years of experience. Rates also vary by area.

Depends on the attorney and firm. Some may charge by the hour, others, like us, may do a flat fee to review and give a professional opinion. I would call around for prices. www.IrvingReillyLaw.com

While I agree with the other lawyers answering your posting, you should not use price as the sole criteria for hiring a lawyer. You should choose a lawyer with experience in both real estate and small business transactions. You should feel comfortable with your lawyer and discuss prices only after you are certain that the lawyer is able to do the type of work you want.

I cannot speak for other firms, but depending on the length of the contract, we charge between $500-750 flat fee to review a commercial lease and provide recommendations if clauses need to be changed. Be very careful, as commercial leases are often drafted in favor of the landlord, and there are many ways you should safeguard yourself as a commercial tenant.

That's a very difficult question to answer. I have seen commercial leases that are a thick as phone books. They typically have a lot of quirky little language that can be challenging. Be careful and make sure that the lease meets your business plan. Renewal options are especially important to take a look at.
