Property
Business premises are perhaps the most important item on any balance sheet, yet they are often given little thought until an event occurs which disrupts your business. Our property team will help you identify profitable strategies for the acquisition, ongoing management and possible disposal of your business premises.
Withy King’s commercial property team consists of dedicated lawyers who have advised occupiers, landowners, developers (both residential and commercial), charities, pension schemes and funders on a range of property issues for many years. The team's experience includes acting for national retailers, major care home operators, licensed business operators and medical practitioners.
Senior team members have worked in-house for a major insurance company and been seconded to various clients. This level of involvement has given us an in-depth understanding of the problems and opportunities faced by those within the property sector.
We know where problems are likely to occur and always advise proactively on practical, commercial solutions. We offer assistance across the spectrum of property issues (from a cquisitions and disposals, to development and landlord and tenant transactions) and also work closely with the firm’s other specialists in corporate, construction, dispute resolution and insolvency, to meet all of your property needs.
Construction
Withy King is increasingly chosen by major national organisations in preference to City-based and national law firms for its construction and engineering advice. We are recognised in an independent guide to the legal profession as "really making a mark", and are ranked as one of the top 10 construction and engineering teams in the South West.
Our rise to become one of the region's leading advisors to the construction and engineering sector is a result of more than 10 years' investment into understanding our clients’ needs, aligned with the recruitment and retention of some of the region's leading construction and engineering lawyers.
We have a genuine understanding of the pressures faced by contractors, subcontractors, developers and consultants in the construction and engineering sector today. Never has the pressure to minimise your risk and maximise your commercial opportunities been greater. By understanding your business, we are able to translate our knowledge into a tailored solution.
We are currently advising on a wide range of traditional and PFI/PPP-based projects, including private sector commercial projects and public sector projects in the fields of health, education, defence and local authority.
We also act for some of the region’s largest contractors and sub-contractors on a variety of disputes. We have set our goal of providing City quality expertise at a competitive regional price. Our clients say we have succeeded.
