A Deed of Assignment legally transfers your obligations under a lease to another party, so you won’t need to deal with a lease that is no longer yours. This could occur in the context of selling your business, or if you simply want to exit your lease and you’ve found a party that is willing to take on your existing one.

A Deed of Assignment will cover some key terms, such as the consent of the landlord. It’s important that a lawyer reviews this document to ensure that these terms are included and to advise you on any legal issues that may appear in your Agreement.

This package costs $900 + GST. It includes a review of the Deed of Assignment as well as phone consultations with one of our lawyers who can advise you on the relevant legal issues.
