Our 46-strong commercial property department is a close-knit team of commercial property lawyers and support staff with a strong reputation in its field and broad experience over the entire sector. To property developers and others in the field it offers a sophisticated legal expertise, in a client-focused and cost-senstive environment.

The team's experience and resources mean it is well-placed to undertake complicated, time-critical or high-value deals, including those requiring the management of multi-disciplinary teams.


 
The team is well placed to take on particularly complex or time-critical deals
Background

Our clients fall into two main categories: publicly-quoted companies and private investors and developers; and retail companies needing ongoing commercial property advice.

We deal with substantial transactions (in excess of £250m), as part of a mix of work which includes:


::  portfolio acquisitions and disposals

::  the acquisition of sites for commercial, industrial, residential and mixed use

::  the grant, renewal and termination of leases and related matters

::  joint venture agreements, conditional sale and purchase contracts, auctions and options


The department is proactive and client-focused in its approach, with the resources to pull out all the stops if needed to complete a deal. Some clients will deal mainly with a single lawyer, others with a team which may include specialists from other areas of the practice.
