"This firm is the benchmark for real estate work - it is the standard against which the others should be judged" (Chambers UK, 2009)

As one of the leading real estate practices in the country, we deliver an all encompassing service unparalleled both in terms of size and breadth of expertise.  We are deeply committed to real estate and provide our clients with exceptional multi-disciplinary knowledge and capability. 

Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of all issues relating to planning, construction and engineering, investment, development, securitisation, property finance, tax, litigation, environment and health and safety.  We advise on some of the biggest projects not only within the UK but throughout Europe and have the capability to undertake the full range of real estate work. 

The nature of the work undertaken means a large proportion of our work requires a cross-firm/multi-disciplinary approach; as a result we regularly work closely, as a single team, with specialists across the firm in our corporate, finance and tax functions.

We are ranked as the premier firm in the major industry directories covering all aspects of commercial property.  In addition we are also recognised and highly regarded for our achievements in many market sectors including leisure, hotels, public sector and retail.

We strive to be at the forefront of new developments and initiatives and are active participants in stimulating thought and discussion on issues affecting the sector. Our proactive approach has enabled us to help shape and develop some of the most prestigious initiatives in the UK.
