In real estate finance, timing is everything
Whether you're funding a development, refinancing a portfolio, or navigating a complex acquisition, you need legal advice that’s fast, clear and commercially grounded. We work with the full spectrum of banks (UK and international), alternative lenders, debt and equity funds, sponsors, developers, investors, and third-party loan agents and servicers to get deals done—on time and on point.
Our team understands the pressures you face: regulatory shifts, rising costs, ESG scrutiny, and the need to deploy capital quickly. We bring deep experience across all asset classes—residential, commercial, office, retail, logistics, student, hotels, hospitality, healthcare and more—and advise on the full range of finance structures, from syndicated facilities to bilateral loans, senior and mezzanine financing, loan on loan facilities, preferential equity transactions and forward funding.
What sets us apart? We don’t just advise on the law—we help you shape the deal. We’re known for being market focused, responsive, pragmatic and easy to work with. And because we work closely with our real estate, construction, tax and planning colleagues, we offer joined-up advice that understands the market and the whole transaction.
