Our property dispute team collaborate closely with our colleagues in the commercial property team. This means that if property disputes do arise, we are often already familiar with the background and are able to give commercial advice on the options available, including issues affecting landlords or tenants and considerations under the Landlord and Tenant Act. We will consider with you whether alternative dispute resolution, through mediation or arbitration, may be appropriate.

Where legal action is necessary, we understand the process can be time-consuming, and we guide clients through each step while ensuring everything is thoroughly prepared. Our primary goal is to help our clients  resolve disputes in a cost-effective way , using the negotiation and litigation skills with which we have extensive experience. This includes resolving commercial property disputes across a wide range of issues.

Whether the matter concerns common causes of commercial property disputes, a restrictive covenant, or planning permission and development rights, our team has extensive experience advising clients in Scotland, England and Wales.
