One of the most important legal contracts in the early life of a brewery is the lease. In Jeffrey’s presentation, he provides an overview of the negotiation process for a brewery lease, starting with the letter of intent all the way through to execution. Discussion includes the types of commercial leases, key provisions (both generally and specific to a brewery business), practical tips for negotiation and dealing with disputes (in particular, disputes as to noises or odors), and later years of the lease.
