REAL ESTATE SUPPORT
Your strategic real estate partner
OUR APPROACH
Davitt Jones Bould specialises entirely in real estate. Our lawyers are renowned for their expertise in real estate – be it commercial property, property litigation, construction, environment, planning and other related areas – and are highly ranked in Legal 500 London tables. Most of our lawyers come from City firms and therefore have built their careers doing city work. They joined Davitt Jones Bould so they could get balance in their life, and at the same time still take care of high-calibre clients.
We strongly believe that forming partnerships to build new strategies for service delivery is a proactive way to ensure clients always receive continuity of service, value and speed of delivery. Whether a firm has an existing real estate team, or needs real estate capability, our solicitors provide a flexible resource for real estate legal services.
WHAT WE DO
We partner with other law firms, with our lawyers supporting their teams to service their clients. Whether because of pinch-points in capacity, capability or costs – or just because they don’t have a real estate offering – we’ve established partnerships with firms on the full range of real estate legal services.
Examples of how we supported our law firm clients:
-
Reports on Title for battery storage projects
-
Bulk lease due diligence for retail parks
-
Development. constraint reports on industrial development sites
-
New leases and agreements for lease for health and leisure operators
-
Due diligence and planning support on healthcare portfolios
-
Development support reviewing land promotion agreements
-
Reviewing construction documents, advising on JCT contracts and collateral warranties
-
Negotiating option deeds and mining leases for mineral projects
-
Read-across on large-scale development projects
HOW WE DO IT
We have developed three distinct support mechanisms to ensure we can always find a suitable way to support you, quickly and effectively. We are committed to developing a strategic partnership best suited to your firm, recognising that every client is different.
CONSULTANCY
Davitt Jones Bould lawyers undertake segments of work in support of a large project you are undertaking for your client. The segments are defined, whole matters such as reports.
We regularly use this method to undertake large-scale due diligence projects, particularly where firms are not able to undertake certificates of title and other reporting in a cost-effective manner, or do not always have the capacity to take on large projects at short notice.
We assemble and manage our legal team, delivering the work back to you.
LAWYERS ASSURED
Lawyers Assured provides you with an elastic resource, ensuring your ability to service clients is never restricted by issues of capacity. You instruct Davitt Jones Bould on the hours you need a stopgap for, and we will coordinate and manage our team to fulfil this requirement, held out as your lawyers.
This solution is best used when your team is stretched, or under-resourced, or if you just need some extra robustness long-term but aren’t in a position to recruit.
APPROVED PARTNERS
Do you need extra specialisms or strength in a pitch? Or resource to support a client long-term? With the Approved Partners route, Davitt Jones Bould works alongside you as an approved partner. Our lawyers work directly with your client.
We regularly partner with other law firms on pitches and proposals, particularly where a depth and breadth of real estate specialism is required and ensuring you are able to deliver best value to your client.
