The foundation of a successful commercial deal starts long before the final contract is signed. Before signing a lease or purchase agreement, most negotiations begin with a Letter of Intent (LOI). While often considered “non-binding,” the language used can create binding obligations if not carefully worded. At Metka Law, we ensure your LOI protects your interests and sets the stage for a successful final agreement.
Chelsea L. Metka is board certified in Real Estate Law by The Florida Bar and drafts and negotiates letters of intent, purchase agreements, commercial leases, amendments, and assignments for clients across Central Florida.
We proudly provide commercial real estate legal services to businesses, investors, and property owners across the following communities:
Counties: West Orange County | South Lake County
Cities
A Letter of Intent is more than just a preliminary outline; it defines major financial and legal terms and sets the goals for your business. If the parties’ goals are not aligned in the LOI, the subsequent lease or purchase negotiations are likely to fail, leading to wasted time and money. We help you negotiate key deal points, such as TI allowances, exclusive use provisions, and rent structures, before they become formal, immutable terms.
Whether you are a commercial property owner, a buyer, or a business owner looking for space, we draft and negotiate the documents that set the terms. We represent one party in any given transaction, so you know whose interests we are protecting.
Creating well-structured documents tailored to the unique needs of your business or investment.
Analyzing landlord-drafted or broker forms to prevent overcommitment to unfavorable terms, such as personal guarantees.
Working directly with brokers and opposing counsel to finalize terms that align with your long-term goals.
Ensuring total alignment between the negotiated LOI and the final commercial lease or purchase agreement.
Inspection periods, deposit and escrow release conditions, representations and warranties, and closing conditions.
Rent structure, CAM and pass through provisions, term and renewal options, and assignment rights.
Modifying an existing agreement or transferring it to a new party without disturbing the terms you rely on.
Chelsea L. Metka is board certified in Real Estate Law by The Florida Bar, a distinction held by a small fraction of Florida attorneys.
A broker can circulate a form. An attorney can tell you which terms in it will cost you eighteen months from now, and negotiate them out before they harden into a signed agreement.
