Real estate litigation

Our real estate litigation practice acts for a variety of clients including public companies, institutional and retail investors and private individuals. We regularly act for landlords (both in the commercial and residential sector) and tenants alike and pride ourselves on being able to provide a tailored service to all. The expertise of our real estate litigators is supplemented by the experience of our substantial real estate group, which specialises in development, investment, planning, construction, environmental, agricultural and residential work, and is recognised as one of the leading corporate transactional practices.

We focus on providing high quality legal advice. Our aim is always to identify the commercial objectives of the client and then to develop a strategy to achieve those objectives. We are proactive in our approach and in many cases that means taking on a tactical advisory role at the outset to work to prevent disputes arising or to resolve them at an early stage, without the need to resort to formal action.  We regularly resolve disputes at an early stage by the use of techniques such as mediation and early neutral evaluation.
