Owning and occupying property is a key part of commercial life. Property investors, developers and commercial occupiers all need to manage their interests carefully, take advantage of opportunities and tackle issues before they become problems in order to maximise the effectiveness of their property investment.

As commercial property experts, we recognise our clients' primary need for dynamic, commercial and practical advice to overcome problems and add value to investments. The size of our team ideally equips us to manage large investment property portfolios efficiently and quickly. Our locations enable us to be highly accessible to our clients and their other property advisors.

We appreciate the importance of inspecting the subject property to ensure that we're best placed to understand our clients' needs and concerns. Above all, our specialist lawyers understand the day-to-day commercial imperatives of our investors and occupier clients and recognise the need for us to act in a supportive, imaginative and commercially aware manner.

We advise clients on a wide range of commercial property investment issues over a broad spectrum of sectors. These include retail, leisure and office developments, hotels, licensed premises and industrial property. Our clients range from private investors, through to major property investment companies, pension funds and institutional land-owning clients, charities, as well as major players in the retail, industrial and residential sectors.

The firm has acted for landowners and developers in connection with a substantial number of exciting commercial and mixed-use developments in the central south-west of England. We regularly advise in connection with new-build developments and also provide specialist knowledge to boutique property developers in connection with the conversion and development of existing period properties.

As well as acting for institutional investors and developers, the firm acts for a substantial number of corporate occupiers, helping with the acquisition, with letting and funding, and with any other issues that arise from their business premises requirements.
