Real Estate

Working with one of the City’s leading real estate practices brings real benefits to our clients. Our real estate lawyers are hand-picked to ensure that you receive the expertise, experience and resources to suit your specific needs.

The service we offer is not only technically excellent but commercially driven. We will work with you on all aspects of transactions involving the investment in and management, development and financing of real estate assets, across all sectors of the industry.

We are immensely proud of our client base. Our clients range from private individuals and property companies to life and insurance companies, large corporate and public bodies, based both in the UK and internationally. The relationships we develop with clients are key to our success. Our approach is simple: to understand and identify with your requirements, so that we can help you to achieve your objectives.

Our combined expertise in real estate, corporate, finance, tax and investment funds enables us to create a distinctive team delivering a dedicated partner-led service of the highest quality to our clients.

Given that many corporate real estate matters involve overseas locations, we have developed close working relationships with many of the leading independent law firms throughout the major jurisdictions. This ensures access at all times to firms with the requisite legal and market experience.

Our private client property practice assists high-net-worth clients with all aspects of residential and commercial property, including the acquisition and disposal of sporting estates, heritage properties and exclusive London homes.

We are able to call on colleagues to provide first class advice on planning, construction, employment, tax or contentious matters that are frequently ancillary to the main transactions on which we work.

Inevitably a substantial proportion of our clients are non-domiciled and the strength and reputation of our private client colleagues on international tax planning matters are critical to the full service on offer.

Our real estate finance practice has established a first-class reputation amongst both borrowers and lenders. We provide a cohesive and flexible service across the wide range of disciplines, which are fundamental to modern real estate finance transactions. We draw together expertise across real estate finance, corporate, tax, investment funds, planning, environment and construction to meet our clients’ unique requirements. We work in small client-focused teams but also have the resources to mobilise large groups for major transactions.

We offer advice to a varied client base which includes banks, building societies, mezzanine funders, equity funders, housing associations, investors and developers, the public sector and the leisure sector.

We also have specialist expertise in advising on facilities to high-net-worth individuals buying or refinancing residential properties in central London and overseas.
