We know charity property inside out

Our extensive charities background means our property lawyers can help with any challenge your charity property may bring – including reputational sensitivities.

A broad caseload focused on results

We act in all types of property matters from those involving nursing homes, City office blocks, large mixed-use property and estates, to charity shops, residential flats and houses across the country.
 
And when it comes to planning and development, we’re happy working on both 'sides of the fence'. So we act for developers as well as landowners – some of whom have the largest holdings in the country.
 
We’re also expert in landlord and tenant law from both a residential and commercial angle. Whether your case requires putting leases together, unpicking occupation arrangements or the services of our experienced property litigators, we can help bring it to a speedy conclusion.
 
Fully up-to-speed with the property requirements of the Charities Act 2011, we’re also regularly asked to provide training to charities’ in-house legal teams and other law firms.
