We prefer to consult with our clients at the commencement of projects, developments and transactions to ensure that we can foresee problems arising or mitigate risk. If problems do arise, we have a proven track record of securing the right results for our clients through litigation or alternative means of dispute resolution.
Sectors we work in include living (build to sell, BTR, PBSA and co-living), commercial offices, retail & leisure, industrial & logistics, mixed-use, life sciences, media and technology.
As a team we make sure that we are aligned to the needs of our clients' businesses, to fully understand their objectives and challenges and to help achieve them.
