Why choose our commercial property lawyers?
The following are just some of the reasons our clients choose to instruct us:
Consistent and personal
The hallmark of our service is expert advice with a personal touch. From the moment you instruct us we will carefully take the time to get to know your business, your goals, and establish a course of action which aligns perfectly with your commercial strategy.
Our first step will be to assign a personal case worker to your transaction. This will be a professionally qualified lawyer who will take complete responsibility for your commercial property experience. Your lawyer will be your first point of contact for any queries and will be intimately involved in your transaction from start to finish, minimising any risk of delays.
Proactive and responsive
We believe that your experience with us is just as important as achieving a positive outcome to your case. That is why we have taken care to promote policies of full client engagement, including:
- Ensuring there is just one lawyer with primary responsibility for your case, though others may work on your file from time to time
- Providing you with a direct dial and email address for your primary lawyer so if you have any questions or concerns throughout your case, you can get in touch straight away
- Responding to your calls and emails promptly, bearing the time sensitivity of your commercial transaction in mind at all times
- Taking proactive steps to progress your case. We do not just react to issues as they arise; we aim to consistently anticipate and resolve challenges before they delay your transaction
- Keeping you up to date on all developments within your case as soon as they occur
