We are well versed in providing proactive property management services. As a result of acting for both landlords and tenants, we are experienced in advising on appropriate and achievable terms, for both long- and short-term leases.

The increasing complexity of leases and rent review provisions makes it essential to have in-depth knowledge and to adopt a detailed approach, in order to protect your interests. We handle the negotiation of commercial leases and tenancies, as well as their renewal, break clauses and surrenders, and advise on rent reviews. We have particular experience in the retail and licensed premises sectors and advise a retail client with a portfolio of over 100 properties.

By dealing quickly and efficiently with legal issues that arise during ownership of a property asset we can help you to extract maximum value from a property, both during your ownership and on any subsequent disposal.

Landlord and tenant disputes

The relationship between landlord and tenant often runs smoothly but some areas have a greater potential to cause disputes. Whatever the nature of the dispute, clients want to resolve it quickly and cost-effectively, to maximize their investment or minimise the commercial disruption and potential loss of value to the property.
The lawyers in our team are all dedicated property disputes specialists, who work closely with the firm's other specialists dealing with environmental, planning, and health and safety issues.

We advise on all aspects of commercial landlord and tenant disputes that arise from large-scale portfolio management, such as service charges, rent reviews, dilapidations, breach of covenant, non-payment and insolvency issues.

We have extensive experience of advising both landlords and tenants on these difficult areas, and will help protect your interests, using a range of dispute resolution methods.
