• Supporting businesses and developers with acquisitions, disposals, and planning matters.
• Advising on commercial leases, licences, options and development agreements.
• Managing the property aspects of corporate transactions and infrastructure projects with our corporate team.

If Your Specialism is Residential Property:

• Managing a full range of residential conveyancing matters, from standard sales and purchases to more complex leasehold, new build, and shared ownership transactions.
• You will be comfortable advising on Help to Buy, lease extensions, declarations of trust, and re-mortgages.
• Liaising with estate agents, mortgage lenders, brokers, and local authorities to keep transactions moving.
• Providing clear, practical advice to clients at every stage, including those navigating more technical or high-value matters.
