Program Description

Negotiating & drafting commercial leases (Live program by William Seeley): Whether you are representing a landlord or tenant, negotiating and drafting the commercial lease is a crucial contract document. The lease lays out the ground rules spelling out which party pays for which leasehold costs, such as base rent, taxes, insurance, repairs, capital improvements and management fees. Other lease provisions set the legal basis for the Tenants right to freely assign a lease to another party; or the Landlord's rights during and after an eviction proceeding. This presentation is designed to give you some examples of lease language and practice pointers in drafting and enforcing commercial leases. Sixty Minutes.

Photography Law: Can I Take A Picture of That? (Live program by Randall Holbrook):The course looks at recent case law dealing with the rights of all photographers and videographers to record or photograph places or events. Sixty Minutes
