“A smart, sleek and diligent group that is extremely competently priced”, “constantly reviewing situations to make sure everything is covered”, “great at finding solutions, understanding what is important to clients and making the property world understandable to us” (Chambers Directory 2009).
Property is often the second highest fixed cost for a retailer, after employee cost. It is not a retailer’s raison d’être and the way in which we work with retailers reflects this. We work hard to secure terms which are important to the retailers for whom we act and do not nit-pick over matters with which they are not concerned.
On acquisitions, we understand that timing is key and a delay in completing a transaction may not only eat into any rent free period which a retailer has been given but may also affect staffing of a store and cause warehousing problems when stock is not moved into a store. Whether you are acquiring, developing or disposing of stores or dealing with management of your portfolio, we will project manage the legal side to help deliver the result your business requires.
As a national team, we work across offices and are capable of assembling a sizeable team to deal with large scale projects such as reorganisations and portfolio acquisitions.
