How can we help?
Our commercial property litigation specialists handle commercial landlord and tenant disputes effectively and with a deep understanding of legal procedures, allowing our commercial real estate teams to focus on the non-contentious aspects of practice.
Supporting many local landlords, property developers, investors and managers, as well as business tenants, key to our approach is the prompt recovery of arrears and handling of claims to allow you to re-let properties and sustain your business, whilst tenant clients are able to move on and grow.
We’re sensitive to the needs of businesses in the property sector, and we work hard to avoid expensive and time-consuming court proceedings, with cost-effective property dispute resolution delivered by litigation experts who settle disputes whilst maintaining relationships wherever possible.
Speak to a member of our team to find out how our commercial landlord and tenant services can support you on 01616 966 229.
From straightforward disputes to complex and unusual cases, the expertise and close working partnerships of our commercial litigation and commercial real estate teams together enable you to access a full suite of support within a local and accessible firm.
Our approach is centred on proactive, commercially-focused advice that allows properties to be relet quickly. When assessing rent or other payment arrears, our team identifies options and likely outcomes, whilst always looking ahead to the next step: will bailiffs be required? Would the landlord prefer the premises to be vacated and should the client consider commercial rent arrears recovery procedures?
If acting for business tenants, claims relating to structural defects, service charges or repairs are handled efficiently and with care.
Stephensons works with local and nationwide clients closely and understands their businesses, meaning that where a potential issue is anticipated, our team can quickly implement effective and practical strategies to manage risk and minimise disruption.
