Team Services

We provide advice during the negotiation and documentation of transactions, with a view to avoiding or minimising the cost and disruption of any subsequent dispute. Our team offers risk analysis and assessment of investments, alongside our transactional colleagues, helping you manage risk at an early stage. Our practical and innovative advice is based on detailed working knowledge of the property sector.

Where disputes have arisen, we provide solution-focused advice. Our work is delivered with cost predictability, with fixed fees and shared-risk fee arrangements offered whenever possible. We will be robust litigators when we need to be: all of the partners in the team have leading cases under their belts, but recognise that litigation is a last resort. As effective negotiators, we will concentrate on finding a commercial containment of risk to effectively protect our client’s interests.
