Property investment, development, and construction are core areas of our practice. Our property finance lawyers work extensively in these areas.

They understand the laws, the market risks and the financial drivers in the property and development world that are fundamental to equity and debt providers.

​

Our property finance clients value our property law expertise, our commercial understanding and our commercial approach derived from our many years of practice and experience in property representing investors, developers, borrowers, and lenders.

We advise on all aspects of property financing transactions from the simple to the complex. We also prepare and review the complete range of lending and security documentation for those transactions.

​

Our collaborative approach ensures that the Property Finance Group works closely with our industry-leading construction and infrastructure practice group, as well as our corporate group where needed.
