Commercial property disputes
Due to the complexities around commercial property, disputes can be prolonged and costly. Seeking advice early from a specialist lawyer is essential in minimising any negative impact on your business.
Our commercial disputes team can also help resolve any disagreements resulting from your ownership or tenancy of a property.

Islamic finance
Islamic property finance is fast becoming an attractive way for business owners and property developers to finance projects and also for the ongoing management of commercial premises.
Islamic finance supports the management of money in a way that follows the moral principles of Islam and the Sharia (also known as Shariah or Shari’a). This type of financing can offer financial inclusivity, stability and sustainable development, and is increasingly being adopted by non-Muslim clients.
Salma Maqsood, Commercial Property Partner, is experienced in using Islamic finance as a way to invest in or finance a property transaction. She can advise on using Islamic finance for bridging loans, project finance and general property purchases.
Purchasing land for new build development
Our commercial property lawyers work for a number of small and medium-sized new home builders. We can assist house builders every step of the way, from site acquisition to the sale of the finished homes.
