Today’s AML/CTF changes mean a couple of extra onboarding steps — but they’re quick, simple and designed to protect you.

A little more ID, a little more verification, and a lot more security for your matter.

We’ll guide you through it and keep everything smooth, compliant and stress‑free.

Incentives can be one of the biggest value points in a commercial lease — but only when they’re properly documented.

Rent‑free periods, fitout contributions and allowances should be clearly set out in the Agreement for Lease or an Incentive Deed so the incentive you negotiate is the incentive you receive.

💬 If you’re negotiating incentives, we can help ensure they’re clearly documented. Let’s talk.

An Agreement for Lease isn’t just a formality — it’s the document that governs everything that happens before the lease begins.

If there are works, approvals, incentives or conditions to satisfy, the AFL is where the real protection sits.

Getting these terms right avoids delays, disputes and unexpected costs.

Myth: You only need the lease.

Reality: If there’s anything to be done before the lease starts — works, approvals, fit‑out, incentives, landlord works, conditions precedent — you need an Agreement for Lease.
It’s the document that protects both parties during the “pre‑lease” phase. Without it, you’re exposed to delays, cost blowouts and disputes about who was meant to do what — and by when.

🔔 AML/CTF Tranche 2 starts 1 July 2026

A reminder that from 1 July, lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, conveyancers and TCSPs are officially captured under the AML/CTF regime.

What you need now: enrol with AUSTRAC, AML/CTF Program in place, Compliance Officer appointed, Staff trained, suspicious matter reporting ready to go.

Non‑compliance = real risk: civil penalties, audits, enforceable undertakings and reputational damage.

Bottom line: Enrolment isn’t compliance. Operational readiness is expected from day one.

See our article for more information https://simonelawyers.com.au/aml-ctf-tranche-2-commences-1-july-2026/.

💬 Are you operationally ready?

Understanding your lease isn’t just about the headline terms, it’s the finer details that shape how both parties operate day‑to‑day.

In Part Two of our Lease Key Terms series, we’re breaking down five more clauses that are often overlooked but carry real commercial consequences. From assignment rights to redevelopment powers, each term affects tenants and landlords differently — and getting them right can prevent costly disputes later.

If you’re negotiating a commercial or industrial lease, these are the terms worth paying attention to.
