What you can expect
An outcome focused approach
Property transactions are no longer ‘just a
conveyance’ or a matter of lodging and signing paperwork. Transacting
electronically brings efficiencies but also increased compliance requirements. Our
experience enables us to effectively work through these requirements with you
in a manner that does not lose sight of your objectives and the importance of managing
your asset holdings.
A team of specialist lawyers
We have a dedicated team of experienced staff
under the leadership of specialist lawyers. We are accessible and committed to a
personal approach. We are firmly of the view that behind every property
transaction are people. We like the human element of our work.
We invest in technology and continuous
learning. The very nature of the work we do brings competence and confidence especially
in the most technical areas.
No surprises pricing
Our commitment is to agree a price and a
scope with you. Our price does not change based on the time we spend working on
your matter. It is important to us that you feel able to meet with us, call us
and ask questions without worrying about being charged for every phone call,
email or meeting.
