Real estate disputes are, by their nature, complex. Our real estate dispute resolution team have experience securing results for clients using technical knowledge, commercial acumen and expert insight.
Parties are often trying to protect their own interests whilst seeking to maintain relationships and reputations, and often need help navigating through the legal complexities and pressures in order to find a resolution.
Whether you are a landlord, lender or borrower working in the public or private sector, we can help clients deal with any property disputes they may face.
We seek to find commercial and practical solutions which meet our clients’ objectives and understand that costly real estate litigation, for most, will be a last resort. However, if we cannot reach settlement, we are forceful in representing our clients’ interests.

Sophisticated team with a varied offering. Active in arbitrations, court proceedings and expert determinations. Advises clients such as developers, house builders, tenants and landlords on disputes arising from tenancy agreements, possession claims and break notices.
Resolving disputes before they reach court
We give pre-action advice, with the aim of resolving a dispute without the need for court proceedings. We encourage mediation and other methods of alternative dispute resolution to get the right results for our clients. However, if a dispute can’t be resolved, we’re very experienced in guiding clients through court proceedings, tribunal proceedings, arbitration and adjudication.
Who do we help?
Our clients include property owners, corporate occupiers, developers, investors, and management companies.Â
