Lease Assignments Counsel for Marketing Agencies Acquisitions
Managing Lease Assignments on marketing agencies deals, with the structure protection and capital connectivity an independent sponsor actually needs.
Lease Assignments on marketing agencies deals is one of those workstreams that looks routine on a checklist and decides outcomes in practice.
The typical marketing agencies platform sits at $5M to $80M EV with EBITDA in the $1.5M to $14M range. The thesis runs on specialty agency or holdco platform with bolt-ons. If the founder leaves, half the agencies in the market lose 25% of revenue. Structure for that.
How Lease Assignments actually gets structured.
Pull every lease, estoppel, and SNDA in the data room.
Identify landlord consent requirements and prepare consent packages.
Address landlord recapture rights that can be triggered at change of control.
Sequence consent collection to avoid a last-minute single-landlord veto.

Waiting until two weeks before close to request landlord consents. Landlords use the timeline against the buyer.
"Lease consents are the deal-killer that never makes the highlight reel. Start early, finish early."Jason Powell · Lease Assignments
