Gateley Legal maintains both an active commercial real estate group and a distinct specialist residential development team, with both teams forming a practice that is capable of advising on the full spectrum of property matters. The team particularly excels in advising developers and investors, which instruct the team on financings, acquisitions, lettings and disposals in the context of major development and regeneration schemes. The commercial real estate team encompasses highly recommended partners James Sargent and Barbara Rollin. The development team, meanwhile, is led by John Kiff, a key contact for residential projects who oversees the development work of key contacts Keelie Evans and George Parker-Fuller. Philip Gregory left the team in May 2023.
