OUR SERVICE:

Like all teams in the firm, the property department is partner-led and works with clients who prefer hands-on involvement from senior team members, as well as the support of a wider team of highly trained and supervised lawyers.  Clients chose the firm because we:

• value their business - many comment that they like the way they feel like a ‘number one’ client - a ‘big fish in a smaller pond’. We believe this is why our turnover from existing clients increases year on year
• involve partners in the detail as well as the big picture - our partners never just turn up for the pitch
• maximise partner experience to provide quick commercial advice to clients and fast turnaround times
• provide a holistic service through specialist tax, construction, litigation and planning experts that are an integral part of the department
