Due to the beginning of the pandemic and the impact generated by the Covid-19, our client, one of the most important coworking company in the market, was highly impacted by the attendance (tenants that sublet the offices) and capacity restrictions to its main office, which was under a mandatory lease for five years, having just started in 2019.
Thus, we were asked to issue a legal opinion regarding the arbitration process (sponsored by different attorneys) that had been maintaining with the owner of the office, who intended to charge our client (after communicating the early termination of the lease) all the remaining rents as if the Covid limitations had not existed. This legal study was carried out from the real estate and litigation perspective, which allowed us to establish the most vulnerable aspects that the client had in the arbitration, issuing an opinion on the possible outcome of the arbitration. This report allowed the client to know with greater certainty the legal situation in which he was and to know in advance the possible scenarios in which he could find himself at the end of the arbitration.
Likewise, once the arbitration was completed and a final resolution was issued in the same line of criteria as our report, we were asked to determine the exact amounts to be paid to the landlord, for which a legal analysis was performed that allowed the client to know with certainty the amounts was obliged to pay in view of the negotiations with the landlord of his office.
