Sectors
The real estate sector is moving fast, shaped by regulation, investment pressures, technology and shifting expectations about how people live and work. You need advice that keeps pace with this landscape and helps you stay ahead of the decisions that matter. We work with institutional investors, developers, housing associations, local authorities, ecclesiastical bodies and operators across the wider living sectors, providing clarity across the full property lifecycle and the real estate disputes that can arise at every stage. Our role is to give you clear direction, whether you are progressing a major project or managing a contentious issue with commercial consequences.
We provide real estate development legal support from early site strategy through planning, construction, funding, leasing, asset management and step in with property litigation expertise when disputes threaten progress or value. Because decisions made at the front end determine outcomes later, we bring together planning, construction, corporate, finance and property litigation specialists to give you a joined-up view of risk, delivery and long-term value, helping to prevent disputes where possible and resolve them quickly where they do arise.
Real estate is also being reshaped by regulatory reform, sustainability commitments and the growth of technology in design and operation. If you are preparing a regeneration or mixed-use scheme, we can provide legal advice for regeneration projects, helping you to navigate the legal framework for mixed-use developments, and the pressures created by supply chains, funding routes and governance. We also provide support on real estate disputes linked to development constraints, contractual issues, building safety and operational risk.
Whatever the project, our advice is practical, measured and focused on what comes next, so you can move forward with confidence — and with a clear strategy for avoiding, managing or resolving real estate disputes if they emerge.
Meet the Team
Our Real Estate team, led by Jonathan Corris and Triya Maicha, works as one integrated practice across planning, construction, housing, procurement, corporate, finance and disputes. Alongside them, Lee Russell and Mark Foxcroft lead our Real Estate Disputes and Property Litigation offering, ensuring contentious issues are managed with the same level of strategic insight as transactional and development work. We combine deep technical expertise with a practical understanding of how projects are structured, delivered and, where necessary, protected through effective dispute management.
This means you receive clear, commercially focused advice that supports the decisions you need to make today while safeguarding your long‑term priorities.
We have advised on national development programmes, major regeneration schemes, portfolio transactions and complex mixed‑use delivery models. By bringing together specialists from across the firm - including our property litigation and real estate disputes team - we ensure funding, governance, risk and delivery are addressed from the outset, reducing friction and preventing issues from escalating.
Our approach is collaborative and straightforward. We take time to understand how you operate, what your stakeholders expect and where the pressure points lie, tailoring our advice accordingly. Clients value our ability to move quickly, anticipate challenges and stay focused on securing outcomes that work in the real world.
