Our real estate division focuses on development, investment, planning and real estate dispute resolution, providing advice across the full spectrum of the commercial property industry. Our specialisms include:
- investment
- regeneration and development
- planning and environmental
- PFI and PPP projects
- property litigation
We act for a range of high-profile private sector property companies and investment funds. We also advise public sector clients, primarily on inner city regeneration schemes and non-property clients in relation to issues concerning their property assets and on corporate relocations.
Cross-practice teams enable us to provide integrated advice on property taxation, property finance and UK infrastructure projects.
Together with our Paris office and alliance partners Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe we have formed a European real estate group. The three firms work together with the aim of providing a one-stop service for clients in the European real estate market.
