Faster, more accurate advice on what is permissible, reducing the risk of inadvertent breach and speeding up transaction due diligence.


The challenge

When a tenant wants to assign, sublet or share occupation, identifying what the lease permits requires reading across alienation provisions, consent conditions and any historic licenses already granted. Missing a restriction or pre-condition can expose the tenant to breach of covenant.

The solution

Ask iManage extracts all alienation provisions across assignment, subletting and sharing occupation, distinguishes between absolute, qualified and fully qualified covenants, identifies landlord consent conditions and tenant pre-conditions, and surfaces any historic licenses to assign or underlet already granted in the matter.



Open Ask iManage and use natural language search to find your lease.

Ask iManage AI-powered search helps you find specific document(s) using natural language.
