Landlord and Tenant Law

We advise on all types of commercial and residential leases, long and short term assured shorthold tenancy agreements, licences and other arrangements for the letting of property. We act for both landlords and tenants – we have acted for some of our property clients for many years.

Sometimes disputes arise, that is to say, matters become contentious.  When this happens, we have considerable experience in mediating and concluding such disputes through the Courts. David Sichel, a litigation partner, in particular has wide experience in dealing with all aspects of property litigation.
