Property Litigator

Background

The solicitors in our property litigation team specialise in and deal exclusively with disputes and risk management issues relating to land and rights over land. As part of a major international practice, the team acts for a wide client base which includes public and local authorities, property holding pension funds, multi-national companies with English property interests, property management companies, commercial property developers and lending institutions.
