Commercial property advice is at the core of the services BPE provides to our commercial clients and the property team is consistently ranked by the independent legal directory, Legal 500 as a ‘first tier’ firm. We believe this ranking is due to the high calibre of the work undertaken by us and our reputation for exceptional levels of client service.

Collectively, the team currently has many years of professional experience. We have increasingly focussed our skills around the specific sectors of retail, health care, logistics, regeneration and funding in recent years. This allows the industry knowledge and experience which is accumulated within the team to be shared and disseminated for the benefit of our clients on an ongoing basis.

Our sector experience helps our clients as we can combine our legal knowledge with a deep understanding of the issues and opportunities facing your business. This combination allows us to provide you with imaginative solutions to the challenges you might face, rather than a list of legal issues. Coupled with our technical expertise in the traditional disciplines of landlord and tenant, investment and development work, the team consistently delivers to clients in a responsive manner which gets results quickly.

Can our clients be wrong? All law firms will claim to provide a great service but BPE prides itself on the long term relationships we have with our clients. They continue to use us because we never forget the need to help them protect their business and our range of clients and contacts also means we can often facilitate introductions to people with complimentary skills and opportunities, helping them grow their business.
