Whether you are buying/building a medical practice, planning for physician retirement, relocating your practice, or renewing your office lease agreement, it’s important to have your office lease properly analyzed to ensure that the terms and clauses within it are set up to help protect your investment and practice well into the future.

Critical Dates and Risk Assessment: Lease Review Services

Cirrus Consulting Group offers physicians the Critical Dates and Risk Assessment (CDRA), or Medical Office Lease Review. In this review process, our leasing experts analyze your lease, flagging critical action dates, and identifying expensive hidden risks.

A Consultant will then set up a call with you to discuss the nuances of your practice, future career plans and your specific leasing requirements. We’ll take you through our detailed findings, arming you with the knowledge and expertise necessary to protect yourself in upcoming lease negotiations with your landlord.

Common Risks Found in the Office Lease

  • Unexpected Relocations: Does your office lease give your landlord the right to relocate you? If so, is the move at your expense, or theirs?

  • Lease Termination: Does your landlord have the right to terminate your lease, forcing you to relocate and leave the premises?

  • Protection and Security: Is there a “death and disability” clause in place that will protect you and your family should something unexpected happen and you are unable to work?

  • Renovations and Improvements: Does your lease permit you to renovate your clinic? Will you be forced to remove the improvements yourself down the road, and absorb the cost of demo/construction?

  • Assignment Provisions: Is there anything in your lease that will affect your ability to sell or transfer your practice when you are ready to retire? Can your landlord demand rights to your practice sale proceeds?

  • Term and Options: Does your office lease provide sufficient term and “options to renew”? Are these transferable to a future buyer?
