How We Work

We provide a courteous and professional service, from your initial contact with our company to your communications with the lawyer allocated to you.

We offer an option of providing counsel in-house. This allows your commercial planning lawyer to get a good feel for how your company works and take account of your particular circumstances. This is done on a retainer basis.

Alternatively, we work from our own offices on a traditional transactional basis. Whichever method of working you use, you’ll be charged a reasonable rate for high-quality work.

Our lawyers are drawn from some of the top UK law firms and some of the largest commercial companies in the country such as Whirlpool, Phillips and Unilever. That means you will be receiving the legal and commercial expertise that you require.

As well as commercial property advice, we also offer corporate and commercial legal advice.
