Real Estate overview

Our market-leading experts can advise on every aspect of the real estate sector

Our Real Estate group is a UK leader, providing a full range of legal services to national and international clients. We have strength and depth of experience, with a team of around 200 lawyers.

In a resurgent office development market, we have been advising on many of the commercial projects currently underway, including several high profile City schemes.

We are working on developing and launching an increasing number of new property funds.

We have been taking a leading role in helping listed property companies convert to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS).

In addition, we are undertaking an increasing amount of European cross-border work.

We also continue to undertake a very high level of transactional work. Unlike some law firms, we offer a full range of property legal services and advise on sales and purchases, development and asset management work. To provide an effective service, we have invested heavily in project management and processes, often involving specialist IT infrastructure.

We work for real estate clients around the world. To ensure a seamless European service, we have strong relationships with other law firms, notably August & Debouzy in France and GSK Stockmann & Kollegen in Germany
