Overview

The landscape and dynamics of the industrial and logistics real estate sector are constantly evolving and  requiring a rapid response. COVID-19 and Brexit have only served to accelerate changing consumer behaviours, business models and supply chain management

Land interests are undoubtedly a critical factor in the successful realisation of commercial and growth strategies for businesses. Their requirements for and use of real estate continually shift as they re-assess their needs for industrial, warehousing and logistics space and consider the relative attractions of different geographical locations.

All parties involved in the development, acquisition and disposal of industrial and logistics real estate need an experienced legal partner with specialist sector knowledge and a clear understanding of the market drivers and commercial pressures.

Our property specialists combine technical expertise with a pragmatic, commercial and proactive approach, to deliver a high-quality, cost-effective service and efficient and creative solutions. We have built a reputation for being straight-talking, accessible and responsive, building longstanding, trusted relationships.
