Commercial Property

We have a large team of commercial property lawyers who handle a wide range of commercial property matters across our offices. The team is headed by Simon Hale, a Director, who has 36 years legal experience and handles complex development finance matters as well as overseeing the department.
Our lawyers have experience in sales and purchases of commercial property, leases and all the various aspects associated with them acting for both landlords and tenants, development financing and a particular specialism in dealing with charity property matters to name just a few areas. Our Belper office team is headed by Jackie Abbott who has 20 years legal experience and our West Bridgford office team is headed by Luke Tattersall-Smith who has 14 years experience. Simon, Jackie and Luke are supported by a team of 7 lawyers including solicitors, legal executives and paralegals with between 1 and 15 years of experience in this field.
Our aim is to provide practical solutions to our clients. You can find out more information about our prices on our website but commercial property transactions each have their own unique aspects and so we are happy to provide a bespoke estimate on request.

Whether you are acquiring your first premises, moving, re-mortgaging or selling, our team will ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible for you and your business.
