“We take a very hands-on approach.  Because we understand the business, we can add real value to a deal, especially when we’re involved from the outset.” Julian Parkes, Partner 

As well as having City backgrounds, our lawyers have an intricate knowledge of the property sector in the South. We have the expertise and flexibility to handle individual client needs and to provide corporate support services, working in multi-practice teams as required.

Independent legal directory, the Legal 500 2011, highlighted that our clients praised our "excellent communication skills" and "exemplary service".

We try to make the law work for you and not against you. For example, Land Registration rules were recently changed to make all registers open and transparent. The effect is that highly sensitive information relating to a transaction can be viewed by anyone who’s interested. Many developers, agents and surveyors don’t realise that there is legal provision for them to withhold certain sensitive and confidential information from the registers. We can advise how to ensure your business does not suffer from ‘overexposure’ of this nature.

• Freehold and leasehold disposals and acquisitions
