Green Lease Clauses - A Look at the Evolving Legislation & Case Law Update

Introduction

This webinar will take a look at standard green lease clauses from various precedents including BBP and MCL and consider the landlord and tenant's view on these clauses, the impact of them as drafted and whether the sharing of risk is proportionate and appropriate, together with potential solutions and compromises.

Green lease clauses remain a hot topic across the property industry and are often the least understood and last to be agreed in leasing transactions. The industry is yet to reach a consensus as to what is a proportionate sharing of responsibility for environmental performance of commercial premises, so we will aim to arm you with information and market intelligence to enable you to progress your leasing transactions quickly and cover off your client's key concerns.

This webinar will take a look at the evolving legislation and case law in this area and the changing market views on what is and is not a proportionate sharing of responsibility for the environmental performance of commercial premises.
