Callum Hassall

Callum Hassall leads McGuireWoods’ London real estate group. He brings commercial focus and strategic clarity to a wide range of commercial real estate matters, from mixed-use development projects to cross-border investment structures.

Callum advises on matters across a broad range of property types, with particular experience in retirement living and care homes, industrial, manufacturing and logistics, hotels, offices and mixed use developments and regeneration projects. His work spans acquisitions, disposals, financings and developments, as well as landlord and tenant matters and the property aspects of corporate investment transactions, for a client base that includes landlords, developers, investors, lenders and corporate occupiers. He also advises on related commercial issues, including heads of terms, title indemnity insurance, rights of light, asset and operational management agreements, and dilapidation settlements.

Clients turn to Callum for his sharp attention to detail, practical solutions and ability to keep transactions moving efficiently. He is regularly praised for his responsiveness, organisation and the clarity of his advice. Recognised for pragmatic, commercially grounded judgment, he offers well reasoned, forward thinking proposals rather than merely setting out options. In addition to his client work, Callum co-chairs McGuireWoods London’s pro bono programme and is an active member of the Urban Land Institute, serving on the Steering Group for ULI UK North.
