From acquisitions and disposals to lease negotiations, renewals and portfolio management, our specialist solicitors build lasting relationships to provide the strategic insight and expertise you need.

The depth of our sector expertise allows us to provide commercially-driven guidance on a wide range of matters. All built on the key drivers of growth, risk management and profitability.
We advise on the purchase, sale and transfer of commercial property. We’ll ensure every transaction protects your commercial interests and proceeds as smoothly as possible.
We support the acquisition, funding, refinancing and ongoing management of commercial property assets. This includes purchase, sale, financing, refinancing and management issues.
We transfer leasehold interests, ensuring assignments are completed efficiently and meet all legal requirements.
We’ll negotiate and prepare any licences for alterations, helping landlords document proposed works clearly and precisely, while protecting your interests.
We prepare and negotiate commercial lease agreements, securing clear and commercially practical terms.
We provide strategic and robust advice on a wide range of disputes, working to resolve issues efficiently and minimise disruption. This can include breach of lease covenants, forfeiture, arrears of rent and possession claims.
Our close-knit team of property solicitors have the skills and acumen to deliver legal guidance of the highest standard. But, unlike larger firms, we work closely with our clients to build close relationships that allow us to respond at pace.

Corporate Transactions
For many founders, selling a business is the culmination of years of work and one of the most significant decisions they will make. Yet most spend far more time building their company than preparing it for sale.

Dispute Resolution
Our firm recently acted in a boundary dispute between neighbouring homeowners in a unique Grade II* listed village in Highgate, North London.
