Clearwire Leases - Qualified Legal Assistance

If Clearwire has identified your property as a primary candidate to fill a gap in its coverage, you will be provided with the Clearwire standard cell tower lease. The Clearwire leasing agent may briefly describe the basic terms and conditions of the lease, including the term length and rental amount. In most instances, however, the agent will not go into the “fine print” or details of the lease; specifically, he or she will not explain all of the obligations and responsibilities that are imposed on the landowner or the additional benefits that are given to Clearwire (besides the right to install a cell phone tower) during the term of the lease. Because this is the first time most landowners are being approached with a cell tower lease proposal, they tend to focus all of their attention on the potential money involved rather than on the legal terms and conditions of the Clearwire cell tower lease. In fact, the Clearwire leasing agent may even threaten to enter into a lease with a neighboring landowner if the approached landowner does not sign the standard lease in an expedited manner. While this is true when dealing with any cell phone company representative, it is even more the case with Clearwire. For those that are unaware, Clearwire is a relatively new “player” in the cell tower marketplace and has aggressively forecasted to wall street and the general public the launch of new markets throughout the country. In this pressured environment, many landowners simply sign the Clearwire cell tower lease without fully understanding what they are getting into.

When you retain the services of Cell Tower Attorney, we provide only necessary redline comments to the lease and because our staff has previously worked for cell phone companies such as Nextel (which recently purchased Clearwire), we know what terms and conditions Clearwire is willing to negotiate and which ones it is not. More importantly, we take the time to explain all of the terms and conditions of the Clearwire cell tower lease and how it may impact the landowner. We present our proposed revisions to the standard Clearwire lease in straightforward, constructive manner to avoid non-substantive comments and to complete the leasing process as quickly as possible.

We can usually review and respond to the Clearwire standard lease in less than five (5) days and because of our fast turnaround, we are able to keep the Clearwire leasing agent focused on our client’s property rather than pursuing other neighboring properties.

At Cell Tower Attorney, we not only review the terms and conditions of the lease; rather, we regularly engage the Clearwire leasing agent over the phone and through e-mail in an effort to address any outstanding issues. This is very-well received by the Clearwire leasing agent because it speeds up the leasing process and because they are usually paid on a commission basis, it also expedites receipt of their compensation.

If you prefer, we can provide you with references of other landowners with whom we have negotiated Clearwire leases in your area.
