Commercial Property Disputes

Disputes involving commercial property can arise at any stage of the real estate lifecycle, often with significant implications for your business.

Whether involving complex development projects, large portfolios or landlord and tenant relationships, it is essential to seek specialist advice at the earliest opportunity. Our experienced lawyers work with owners, developers, investors, contractors, management companies and occupiers of all sizes to resolve issues quickly and effectively.

We take a pragmatic approach designed to minimise risk, disruption and cost, while safeguarding our clients’ commercial objectives. Working closely with in-house teams, agents and other stakeholders, we manage disputes ranging from site clearance and portfolio management through to planning challenges, delay claims, professional negligence, covenant breaches and contested terminations. Where possible, we aim to resolve matters without recourse to formal proceedings, but when litigation or alternative dispute resolution is unavoidable, we bring the skill, tenacity and strategic insight needed to secure the best outcome.

Our team is recognised for its depth of expertise across the full spectrum of contentious real estate matters. From construction disputes to landlord and tenant disagreements, our specialists provide clear, tactical advice that protects relationships while achieving results. Whether through negotiation, arbitration or litigation, we are committed to delivering practical solutions that align with your commercial priorities, supporting you every step of the way.
