Corporate Occupiers
Almost all companies have a need to occupy premises for the purpose of their business. No matter which sector of the economy you operate in, whether your requirements are for portfolio management or a one-off letting, or whether your requirements are for offices, retail, warehousing or industrial, we are on hand to assist you in managing the process of acquisition and disposal on your behalf.
Our clients range from household name national companies to local businesses, as well as public and third sector organisations. Our team of lawyers, specialising in both transactional and dispute resolution work relating to corporate occupations, is one of the largest and highly regarded in the Thames Valley.
