Understanding Insurance Provisions in Commercial Leases - A Practical Introduction

Introduction

This webinar will provide an introduction to those who want to understand how the insurance clauses in commercial leases work and how to amend them in practice in relation to a typical shop or office or new development.

It is important to tailor such clauses to each situation rather than assume that a 'boiler-plate' approach will work every time.

It is suitable for paralegals and newly qualified solicitors.
