Our sector knowledge means we can anticipate market shifts and tailor legal strategies that align with your investment goals. We act as an extension to your team, helping you navigate complex transactions with clarity and confidence. Whether you're expanding your portfolio, restructuring assets, or entering new markets, our team brings a sharp commercial lens and a collaborative approach.

We prioritise efficiency, risk mitigation and long-term value creation, ensuring your investments are not only protected but positioned to thrive. With us, you gain more than legal support; you gain a strategic partner invested in your success.

We deliver outcome-focused legal advice, combining sector insight, responsive service and strategic thinking to help clients realise opportunities, manage complexity and maximise value across their real estate portfolios.

Our experience

From investment transactions to strategic advisory and value creation through active asset management, our team brings expertise that delivers results:

  • We leverage our investment experience to support institutional clients, such as Railpen, on acquisitions and disposals ranging from single assets to multi-asset portfolios across a diversity of asset classes.
  • We apply deep sector knowledge in life sciences to assist Kadans Science Partner with every aspect of its UK portfolio, from site acquisition through to development and letting, and Mission Street on the leasing of its growing portfolio of science and innovation assets in key strategic locations.
  • We draw on our development expertise to advise institutional investors on forward funding and income strip deals across a number of asset classes, including city centre offices and student accommodation.
  • We deployed our asset management expertise to work with Goya Developments and Hillwood on leasing at Crest Distribution Park – a speculative warehouse development near High Wycombe.
