As part of Voicu & Asociații’s legal debate series, we recently hosted a new session on
“Lease Agreements in Shopping Centers – Key Considerations for Food vs. Non-Food Retailers”
The presentation was led by Alexandra Davidoiu, Managing Associate, and Carmen Bordei, Associate, whose expertise in real estate law and commercial contracts provided valuable insights into the nuances of negotiating and managing lease agreements in the retail sector.
Key topics covered:
▶️ Distinct obligations and negotiation points for food versus non-food retailers
▶️ Practical challenges in aligning contractual terms with operational realities
▶️ Strategies for balancing landlord and tenant interests in complex retail settings
The discussion sparked an engaging exchange of ideas, blending legal theory with practical experience and highlighting how tailored contractual approaches can support long-term partnerships.
▶️ Proactive legal advice remains essential to avoid costly disputes and ensure sustainable business relationships. We encourage clients to seek specialized guidance early and carefully consider all relevant factors before entering into lease agreements in competitive retail markets.
