WIDE-RANGING PROPERTY LITIGATION EXPERTISE

Working on property agreements across all areas, we are highly experienced in resolving property disputes without recourse to court proceedings; our team has an 80-90% success rate in mediations. However, if your case does go to Court, we have an excellent track record of successfully defending clients.

To ensure the best outcome, we take time to understand your business fully, including conducting site inspections where necessary. We will talk you through the risks and options you face, providing pragmatic, commercially-focused guidance. In addition, we can use our industry connections to create a bespoke team of legal and property professionals for your case – including specialist counsel and surveyors.

We can also provide bespoke training for you and your organisation on specific contentious property issues. And with a transparent fee structure, we ensure your legal costs remain clear and manageable.
