Judy Dolan answers: Is it enough that my commercial real estate broker reviewed my lease for me? Do I need to have an attorney look at it?

Generally, commercial real estate brokers are no attorneys and not allowed to give legal advice. It is always a good idea to have your attorney review your lease to protect your interests. If you don’t want to use an attorney make sure that you read the lease completely, that understand what is required of you, and that you have negotiated what is in your best interest.
