Specialist commercial property solicitors for landlords, tenants and owners

Our commercial property solicitors advise on transactions and agreements for buildings, land, and major development projects across the UK.

For most privately owned, non-profit and public sector organisations, the commercial property element of running a business involves a substantial financial commitment. Understanding and reducing the risks, managing liabilities, and obtaining preferable terms require expert advice and support, whether you are a small business leasing an office, or you are managing a large property portfolio.

Recognised by The Legal 500 for our expertise within the real estate sector and committed to completing projects on time and within budget, regardless of deadline constraints, our team delivers clear, cost-effective, pragmatic, and tactical advice, tailored to your specific requirements and commercial objectives.

We routinely advise a wide range of clients, including investors, construction companies, landowners, developers, property management companies, educational establishments, charities, and care service providers, on the drafting and negotiation of leases and associated documentation, business lease renewals, and court proceedings.

Our expertise also extends to leasehold property legal management, covering aspects such as rent reviews, break notices, dilapidations, and licences to assign, sublet or carry out alterations.

The Commercial Property team is closely supported by our other specialist practice areas, including Property Litigation, Corporate & Finance, Commercial, and Employment and HR, enabling us to provide support for your business across the whole spectrum of relevant legal services, ensuring smooth and efficient communication at all times.
