Mindy Sherman and Edward Wicks Author Article on Importance of Exclusive Provisions in Leases

Representatives of landlords and tenants, as well as their counsel, should take care in negotiating the exclusive provisions in their leases in order to avoid litigation and other pitfalls. Mindy Sherman and Edward Wicks authored an article entitled "You May Not Be as Exclusive as You Think," published by the Retail Law Strategist. The article used the case RARE Hospitality Management, Inc. v. River Roads Restaurant Pad, LLC, to illustrate how important the exclusive right to operate provision is in achieving the intended result of a lease.
