Occupier

We advise corporate occupiers on high-value, business-critical office transactions, particularly where delivery, programme and operational integration are key.

Our work frequently involves headquarters relocations, complex leasing and regears, and portfolio strategy for UK and international businesses. We specialise in transactions that go beyond standard leasing, including those with significant landlord works, technical (including M&E) interfaces and tight programme requirements.

We work closely with our clients’ operational, finance and project teams, as well as their consultants, to ensure that occupational requirements are translated into legally robust and commercially effective structures. Our approach integrates real estate, construction, tax and disputes expertise to manage risk and deliver projects on time.

We also advise on portfolio reviews, restructurings and cost-effective exit strategies, helping occupiers adapt to changing business needs and market conditions.

Key areas of expertise:

  • Headquarters relocations and consolidation projects
  • Complex office leasing and regears
  • Development-led occupation and pre-let agreements
  • Transactions involving significant landlord works and delivery risk
  • Portfolio strategy, rationalisation and exits
  • Integration with construction, planning and tax
