As a ‘full-service real estate firm’, Cripps advises property investment companies, real estate lenders, and retail park and warehouse owners, among other clients. Stephen Hedley, head of the firm’s broader real estate division, co-leads the department alongside Oliver Morris, who advises an impressive roster of clients, including landed estates, property companies, private high net worth investors and offshore investors.
