Kevah
Scope & Deliverables
Kevah seeks legal advice to review a new lease and guidance on related commercial real estate issues. Specifically, Kevah seeks:
- A lease review including advice on needed edits/changes etc. to ensure that Kevah's needs are met and that the organization is considering the relevant issues before agreeing to this significant financial commitment.
- Oversight until the lease is signed.
- Guidance developing appropriate subtenant contracts and agreements with 3-5 small Jewish organizations which may rent desks from Kevah in the new space.
- (Optional) On-going, periodic expertise if/when lease-related questions arise in the near future.
Timeline: 7/24-8/31
- Lease review begins immediately, and given the basic nature of the lease and the work invested to date, the transaction could be completed by 7/31.
- Subtenancy agreements can be addressed after lease is final, and we hope will be complete by 8/31.
