Property

"strong in the retail sector" - Legal 500 2011

"They provide brilliantly responsive service that is tailored to meet the client's needs." - Chambers 2011

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 are capable of assembling a sizeable team to deal with large scale projects such as reorganisations and portfolio acquisitions.
