The real estate development market is changing.
As one of the largest, market-leading commercial and mixed-use development practices in the UK, we are uniquely positioned to cater to the ever-changing real estate development industry.
Our real estate development lawyers provide practical, timely and innovative advice tailored to your needs. The size of our group enables our people to develop specialist knowledge and expertise in specific areas, rather than being generalists. We are one of the very few firms able to cope with the different requirements and skills required for both large corporate institutions and international and UK based high-net-worth individuals/families and family offices. We are present and maintain strong networks in all the key global wealth hubs and we are proud to provide practical, timely and innovative advice tailored to your needs.
Whether you are a major or niche developer, a landowner (both public and private sector), an investor or a funder, we will work with you to reduce risk, find opportunities and achieve your business goals.
