About

Provided by Hugh James

Your property is a valuable asset which holds both opportunities and risk. Whether acquiring, developing, managing or disposing of property, we can help you maximise the opportunities, minimize risk and avoid disputes. When risks have already become disputes we can help you to find the quickest, commercially effective strategy to resolve them.

We understand the market our clients operate in and the commercial and/or regulatory context in which they require advice.  We have particular experience of working with developers, investors, social housing organisations and the public sector.

We also provide ad-hoc specialist advice for clients, in-house legal departments, surveyors and other advisors on issues which can often be technical and complex. Our team offers market leading expertise in niche areas such as mineral rights; telecoms; public house lease management; development disputes; contentious planning; agricultural tenancies; and long residential lease management.
