A specialist team focusing on real estate litigation
With real estate as a key focus, our real estate litigation team houses specialists with the expertise and resources to handle all manner of property-related disputes.
The team’s knowledge sets it apart from others with its ability to add value and advise on matters which have precedent-setting and novel issues as well as a number of niche areas.
Clients include domestic and international corporates, investors, institutions, and family offices.
The full range of advice is provided from commercial landlord and tenant matters, opposed lease renewals, rent reviews, dilapidation disputes, sub-lettings, the enforcement of covenants and the recovery of possession of premises.
While the team has handled cases through to the highest courts, the aim is to minimise disruption to clients with the tactical use of arbitration, mediation and alternative methods of dispute.
