We advise landlords and tenants from all industries and sectors on occupational leases and asset management with particular expertise in advising clients from the technology, retail, fashion, entertainment and charity sectors.
We deal with many buildings in central London and so often work with the same Landlords and their advisors. We have built up working relationships and understanding of our clients’ businesses that mean that we can deal with issues practically and effectively in order to minimise costs and disruption.
Our experience also extends nationwide. We deal with matters throughout England and Wales with as diverse occupiers as shopping centre tenants to production studios.
Our clients come from a wide range of industries including film and post-production companies, theatres and theatrical agencies, games companies, tech companies, arts organisations, charities, retailers and luxury brands as well as other office owners and occupiers.
Whichever industry you operate in, you will receive a service tailored specifically to your needs.
We can advise you on:
- Grant of leases
- Business lease renewal
- Rent review
- Licences to alter/fit out
- Lease assignment and underletting
- Lease surrenders
- Dilapidations
- Specialist advice in relation to theatre buildings, specialist warehouses or other buildings requiring specialist/technical fit out.
