About

Provided by Wedlake Bell LLP

A snapshot - who are we?
We are a full-service real estate practice with a reputation for dealing with high-value investment and development work. We act for a diverse range of domestic and international clients: investors, developers, banks, owner-occupiers and tenants, universities and charities. We have a very broad spread of clients in many different sectors. We work extensively with other specialists within the firm in related practice areas such as construction, planning and environmental, disputes, banking, corporate and tax.


Overseas
There is a strong international dimension to our practice; our work for both UK and overseas clients is such that we are regularly involved in complex cross-border transactions, and we have extensive experience of working with overseas jurisdictions. Many of our UK property transactions have an international dimension as the parties are located offshore, but our work comes from all over the globe: the US, the Middle East, the Far East, South Africa and Europe.
