In this video, Nabarro real estate dispute resolution partner Nick Lloyd talks to Legal Week editor-in-chief John Malpas about managing risk for occupiers, guarantors and assignments.

Topics covered include:

  • The shift in the relationship between landlords and tenants in the wake of the recession;
  • The importance of the decision in Good Harvest Partnership LLP v Centaur Services Ltd and how it poses a headache for occupiers and tenants rather than landlords;
  • Why attempts by landlords and tenants to get around the 1995 Covenants Act are likely to be 'stamped on' as a result of the Act's strict anti-avoidance provisions; and
  • How litigation in the real estate sector is set to develop in future.
