When there is a dispute over property – commercial or residential – a client needs to know that their legal advisor will first aim to resolve it and mitigate any risks – and only when this route has been exhausted should they turn to litigation. With a team of over 23 lawyers, we advise in relation to commercial, residential and mixed-use schemes and development disputes. We deal with all landlord and tenant issues including rent arrears, forfeiture, lease renewals, dilapidations claims, and service charge disputes.
We also have experience in rent review, insolvency, real estate disputes and property related professional negligence claims.On the commercial side our clients range from developers to institutional investors and funds, major office and retail tenants, private estates, charities, and high net worth individuals. Acting for both sides ensures that we are alive to the concerns and priorities of each so that the advice provided is well rounded.
On the residential side our team has significant experience in the Central London marketplace, advising landlords of large mixed-use estates and also residential investors and tenants of high value blocks in London and the suburbs. Our clients include both landlords and tenants covering all aspects of residential estate management, boundary and party wall disputes and also on enfranchisement and right to manage claims.
