Commercial leases are written by the landlord's counsel, for the landlord. A redline rebalances it: personal guaranty scope, common area maintenance (CAM) charge definitions, assignment and subletting restrictions, default and cure periods, and renewal or early-termination terms all get reviewed and rewritten rather than just flagged.
Two of the most consequential clauses in any small-business lease: the personal guaranty (does it cover the full lease term at full rent, or can it be capped or phased down?) and CAM charges (are they capped, itemized, and auditable, or open-ended?). The redline reviews both against what's actually negotiable in the Texas commercial leasing market.
1. Submit & pay — upload your lease, tell us your goals, and pay a flat fee based on page count. No intake call required.
2. We redline it — a licensed attorney personally rewrites the agreement to protect your position with tracked changes.
3. You receive three files — a redlined version, a clean negotiation-ready copy, and an attorney email explaining every change in plain English.
Up to 10 pages — $250 (short-form leases)
11–25 pages — $450 (full-length retail, office, or industrial leases)
26–50 pages — $700 (leases with multiple exhibits or riders)
50+ pages — custom quote
Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days. Need it sooner? Add next-business-day expedite at checkout (+$150 to +$400, scaled by length).
Brian Lerner is a practicing attorney with more than 30 years of experience, licensed in Texas, Michigan, and California. Every redline is prepared by a licensed Texas attorney. Phase one serves documents governed by Texas law.
How much does it cost? A flat $250 for most short-form leases (up to 10 pages), quoted before you pay.
Should I sign a personal guaranty? Not without understanding exactly what it exposes — the redline reviews scope and whether it can be capped or time-limited.
What are CAM charges? Common Area Maintenance pass-through costs — the redline flags open-ended or poorly defined CAM language.
Do you review both landlord and tenant leases? Yes, the redline is built around whichever side you're on.
