As a tenant the landlord will almost always insist on their form of lease, which is subject to negotiation as sometimes they will propose clauses that some tenants should never agree to.
A good lawyer who is well versed in commercial leases should be able to tell you what the concerns about the lease should be. There are some very landlord friendly and some very tenant friendly lease forms out there.
But also, being a good client means you also read the lease and understand its implications so you can voice some concerns. Don't hire a lawyer to explain the lease clause-by-clause, read it, understand it. Then you can ask smart questions.
I see no problem enlisting the help of a commercial realtor, as long as they truly do understand commercial leases and the various options out there. The problem is, they typically are out of the transaction by the time they get their commission, so may not be informed as to the pitfalls that can happen. Experience for realtors varies as much as experience for lawyers.
In these kinds of cases, unless the smaller firm holds themselves out as having specific commercial leasing expertise, you're probably better off with a larger firm, and while more expensive from an hourly point of view, they'll probably save you money because they will have legal experts who know what they're doing. Don't be afraid to call Bennett Jones (for example) just because they're Bennett Jones. Sure, they have huge overhead and it shows in their rates, but in many respects they have expertise that justifies those rates from a value perspective.
