Real Estate Disputes

Our specialist real estate litigation lawyers are completely focused on finding effective solutions to complex disputes. That means we are able to unpick difficult legal issues to get to the point, fast. We give strategic commercial answers in a clear and straightforward manner.

Our team is experienced in handling complex and highly technical property cases for clients across a range of industry sectors, from landlord-tenant disputes to large development cases.

We work for real estate industry clients like Barratt Homes, Gazeley and UNITE, digital business clients including Vodafone, energy and natural resources groups like RWE NPower and Western Power Distribution and financial services clients including Lloyds Banking Group. We also advise a number of big pension funds and property companies on real estate disputes.

Our approach means we have worked on some of the most significant cases in the real estate sector, such as our work for Centaur in the high-profile Good Harvest Partnership LLP v Centaur Services Ltd litigation, which resulted in a landmark High Court ruling in landlord-tenant disputes.

We handle all kinds of property-related cases, with specialists on our team who handle contentious planning and rights of light work.

We are able to mobilise large teams of people across our offices in London and Bristol to provide the necessary resources on complex disputes when they arise. We know that litigation is not always the answer, so we try to avoid it wherever possible and the team has substantial experience of representing clients at mediation. We think about your problem imaginatively, always with an eye on the most positive and cost effective outcome for your business.

Our track record speaks for itself. Whatever the nature of the dispute, let us help you to obtain the best possible outcome.
