I never use them as a reader, and many times when under the gun I’ve had a TOC issue crop up when adding a new section or something… but I usually do have them, although more out of inertia than actual usefulness for me (I.e., if the precedent has one I’ll update it and use it)

I remove them when I have control over a first draft of a doc. They’re useful if you’re doing like an REA or something where you’re gonna reference it in 10 years, but like a PSA? Pointless.

Define “long.” I always have them in commercial leases and purchase and sale agreements.

Personally, I never use them as a reader - so I don’t spend the time putting them into agreements I draft.

I won’t create one of the document doesn’t already have one, but my base form has one and I keep it updated on every turn.

There is another reason to do it, but of course, since I was a bankruptcy litigator in a former life, why I always advocated for it even in a PSA. If the deal falls apart and you have to litigate over it, it can make it much easier for the court to navigate the document you’re fighting over.

Always in a lease. It gets referenced many times over the years. Often far longer than anticipated due to renewals. It saves so much time doing lease review whether for a particular point in a dispute or as DD for a sale of the property.
I tend not to use them in PSA’s as they are usually a lot easier to navigate and don’t typically get referenced more than a few months after drafting, but I don’t have a problem with it.

I really cannot understand the reasoning behind comments that you’d delete a TOC from the document when it comes in. That will just piss off the other side.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales.

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

A client developer group just told me they reached terms to “buy equity in a lease.” From what they’ve told me, if we were setting this up fresh, I’d do a new LLC and easily handle capital contributions, buy-sell, etc. in the new LLC agreement. However, here the partner had a long-term lease on the underlying RE that our group wants to develop as a concept. Lease assignment to new LLC is dicey, but I’m thinking maybe we set up a Mgmt services company to contract w/ the partner-tenant entity?
