Corporate Occupier and Leasing
Tailored legal support to corporate occupiers of commercial real estate across the UK.
Your business premises are more than just a physical space: they’re a critical asset, requiring a strategic approach. Securing the right terms, avoiding hidden liabilities, and maintaining operational flexibility all have direct commercial benefits. And it’s essential to ensure that you are consistently compliant with evolving property regulations.
Whether you operate from a single location or a national network of sites, our specialist commercial property team’s proactive and commercially-driven legal advice will work towards your operational goals, reduce your risks, and maximise long-term value.
Our clients span a wide range of sectors, including finance, logistics, retail, manufacturing, technology, and healthcare. They choose us for our depth of expertise, our responsive service, and our ability to create legal solutions that are aligned with their commercial objectives.
We provide legal advice throughout the entire duration of a property occupation, from fit-out and refurbishment contracts to service charge disputes and reinstatement obligations.
Our expertise includes:
- Lease negotiations
- Managing portfolios, including those that are large and complex
- Service charges and landlord disputes
- Planning and building regulations
- Health & safety and environmental compliance
- Corporate governance implications of property decisions
- Compliance with property regulations
Exiting a space can be a particularly complex challenge. We can support you during break negotiations, dilapidations claims, surrender agreements and relocations – always with a clear focus on minimising business disruption and financial impact.
And if you are consolidating locations, expanding regionally, or managing complex lease events, we can provide a seamless service that covers the whole of the UK.
