This business group calls on experts across the firm to offer well-rounded and businesslike support to clients with every commercial property need, from development and funding, property transactions, construction projects, investment and asset management to tax, planning and regulation.

If, like our many institutional investor, private investor, developer, fund manager or occupier clients, you need timely and comprehensive advice on a commercial property-related transaction, project or investment, you can feel total confidence in the team. Our daily work comprises major acquisitions, developments, disposals and the management of large and complex property portfolios.

Sector knowledge and experience is the key. We have long experience working on every side of commercial property ventures. Understanding the relative needs of all the parties helps us provide effective support to any participant, and most importantly to help drive projects forward.

Our tax, finance and regulatory experts enable us to offer commercially aware advice on every aspect of property funding – creating new structures, securing development funding, refinancing and the transfer of fund assets. We work with you to meet every contractual requirement, including securing guarantees, bonds and other vehicles as required. Tax experts ensure we can optimize our client’s yields with appropriate structures for capital gains, VAT, stamp duty and so on.

 Where disputes arise, all this knowledge and experience is brought to bear together with our litigation and mediation strengths to reach a conclusion as rapidly and cost-effectively as possible.
