Department Overview
Our real estate practice is one of the largest and best regarded in the UK. The practice has genuine strength in breadth and depth – from heavyweight development and complex joint ventures through to asset management, with a first class offering in planning, real estate litigation, real estate finance, construction, M&A, funds structuring and tax. The group comprises some of the most highly regarded real estate practitioners in the UK, many of whom are recommended by renowned legal directories as leaders in their field. The client list reveals the group's connections with serious real estate players who help to shape the real estate market, and the practice's international breadth assists in advising those clients who are not based in or familiar with investing in the UK.
