There are many new issues creating opportunities and challenges for players in the real estate and construction sectors.

We're experiencing a shift in the way real estate is being used and occupied. Organisations are responding to generational influences by encouraging agile working, adapting traditional business models to reflect new trends, and creating spaces focused on wellbeing and work/life balance.

There is greater demand for technology in buildings and innovative construction methods. Sustainability is one of the biggest priorities for our clients, driving change across the board.

Our clients benefit from our involvement in some of the largest real estate transactions in the market and our expertise in all sectors from office and retail to logistics and hotels. They complement us regularly for the strong platform we provide for overseas investors and our network of specialist lawyers that reflect a truly global team.

We advise on all manner of real estate transactions, from high-profile acquisitions and disposals to Pan-European portfolios, to highly structured corporate transactions, to large scale development schemes, to the financing of all these and more. We have the diverse skills needed to support our clients on all aspects of their real estate needs and to help them leverage the opportunities of operating within an exciting and dynamic real estate market.
