Broadfield Law UK LLP provides a comprehensive residential property service, handling matters ranging from sales, acquisitions, and refinancing to more niche areas, such as lease extensions, enfranchisement, and block management. The practice, led by Hema Anand, is particularly well-known for its expertise in the prime and super-prime central London market and its work on landed estates. The team’s ability to serve a diverse client base is demonstrated by its key practitioners: Tristan Ward is a key contact for ultra-high-net-worth transactional work, while partner Lorna du Sautoy routinely assists major buying agents and PLC agents.
