The Department

We have built a Real Estate department to meet the needs of ambitious deal makers. The result is one of London's largest, most diverse, and most complete property teams, whose clients span the worlds of corporate and private wealth.

We drive opportunities for our clients through our understanding of the complex policy landscape, through the leading role we play in shaping industry discussion on regulation and technological change, and by harnessing the power of technology.

The department's core practice areas include construction, development and urban regeneration, fashion and retail, investment, planning and environment, residential, dispute resolution, finance, and taxation.

Our use of proptech, from automation and visualisation tools to AI and structured databases, allows us to work faster and more efficiently and we draw on expertise from the firm's other specialist departments and our global network of connections in search of the best ways to bring people, capital and opportunities together. Everything is geared to finding practical, commercial solutions that get deals done.
