Real estate litigation

Our real estate litigation team combines extensive experience with wide-ranging technical and tactical expertise to provide a 'one-stop shop' for clients that range from landlords and liquidators to leisure operators and local authorities.

Our role is not limited just to litigation - by getting involved at an early stage we can help with risk management strategies and reduce the potential for future disputes.

We regularly handle claims for property related professional negligence and nuisance, as well as contentious planning and environmental issues. Our team also includes experts in licensing and rating litigation.

We pride ourselves on speed of response, quality of advice and our practical and commercial approach to problem solving.

We can help with:

  • Real estate risk management advice
  • Dilapidations work
  • Real estate disputes: rights of way, easements and boundary disputes
  • Landlord and tenant: forfeiture, lease renewals, rent reviews and insolvency
  • Professional negligence: involving surveyors, architects and other advisers
  • Contentious planning and environmental disputes
  • Licensing: both liquor and entertainment
  • Rating litigation
