Workflow

Overview

Drafting retail lease agreements manually requires juggling complex provisions like percentage rent calculations, CAM charges, exclusive use clauses, and continuous operation requirements. Attorneys spend 4-5 hours per lease ensuring all commercial terms are properly structured, cross-referenced, and compliant with landlord-tenant law while customizing provisions for each shopping center and tenant relationship.

CaseMark automates the entire retail lease drafting process with intelligent templates that handle percentage rent formulas, proportionate share calculations, and all standard commercial provisions. Simply input your deal terms, and receive a comprehensive, attorney-ready retail lease agreement in 12 minutes, complete with all necessary clauses for shopping center operations, tenant obligations, and landlord protections.
