About

Provided by Mishcon de Reya LLP

We have built a Real Estate department to meet the needs of ambitious deal makers. The result is one of London's largest, most diverse and most complete property teams, whose clients span the worlds of corporate and private wealth.

For deal makers seeking like-minded business partners, it means we can offer more insightful perspectives on the market when it comes to future deals and partnerships. Whether they are publicly quoted companies, private businesses or entrepreneurs, these deal makers recognise how this insight informs more agile and forward-thinking action.

We also drive opportunities through our understanding of the complex policy landscape, the leading role we play in shaping industry discussion on regulation and technological change, and by harnessing the power of technology.

Our use of proptech, from automation and visualisation tools to AI and structured databases, allows us to work faster and more efficiently, enabling our clients to make decisions in real time, use data more intelligently and ultimately extract the maximum possible value from their assets.

We supplement all this by drawing on expertise from the firm’s other specialist departments and our global network of connections in search of the best ways to bring people, capital and opportunities together. Everything is geared to finding practical, commercial solutions that get deals done.
