Ensure Legal is honoured to be invited as a sponsor and Business Partner of the Amart Furniture Annual Business Conference.
For many years, our firm has supported Amart with national commercial property and retail leasing legal services — especially long-term and development-style leases that underpin store roll-outs, refurbishments and logistics expansion across Australia.
We also act for a wide range of clients including commercial property investors, developers, landlords and enterprise tenants, providing advice across acquisition, leasing, compliance, and dispute management.
About the Amart Furniture Annual Conference
The Amart Business Conference is a major annual event that brings together team members and valued partners from across Australia.

The conference program is filled with forward-thinking and interactive sessions — from product showcases and awards nights to business workshops, networking events, and team-building activities.
For partners like Ensure Legal, it’s an invaluable chance to share insights and align on best practices that keep Amart’s growth strong and sustainable.

Frequently asked questions
What is a development-style lease?
It’s a lease that extends beyond rent and term. It outlines design, construction, delivery and handover standards — often through an Agreement for Lease followed by the final Lease once all conditions are met.
How can multi-state leasing be standardised?
By establishing a master clause library and compliance matrix tailored for each state, supported by a unified critical-dates register and risk log.
How can rent-review uncertainty be reduced?
Use capped or indexed reviews, pre-agreed valuation processes and clear timeframes to minimise negotiation delays.
How can make-good disputes be avoided?
Document the property’s condition at lease commencement, define restoration standards clearly, and agree on an inspection and costing process.
What is the difference between retail and commercial leases?
Retail leases are regulated by additional state laws that govern disclosure, recoverable outgoings and tenant protection — compliance review should occur from the drafting stage.
