Technology and changing work patterns are revolutionising what businesses want from their real estate assets and the need to attract and retain talent puts the choice of workplace at the forefront of the decision making process.
Bristows has a multi-disciplinary corporate occupier team which focuses on understanding and supporting our clients’ business and commercial drivers whatever the nature of their real estate needs. Our experienced team of lawyers provide bespoke solutions and strategic advice to support clients' decision-making process throughout the life cycle of a property - from the acquisition of new premises to exit strategies and all related issues.
We work with organisations in every sector with a significant proportion of our clients being overseas businesses looking to establish a presence in the UK. Our clients include multinationals and start-ups-institutions with heritage properties through to technology and pharmaceutical companies requiring bespoke buildings with specialist fit out requirements.
The team also acts for both lenders and borrowers on real estate finance transactions, from loan origination to enforcement. This enables our finance practice to see both sides of the lender/ borrower relationship on institutional and unconventional transactions.
