An introduction to Quastels for commercial real estate

Our clients include both UK based and off-shore LLPs, corporate occupiers, landlords and tenants. Rather than quoted or listed companies our clientele reflects the nature of our firm as a people business and is predominantly comprised of individual entrepreneurs and family-owned companies, some of which are families with assets in excess of £5bn, for whom we have acted for decades.

Our expertise spans multiple sectors but we are particularly known for our expertise in advising businesses in the Hospitality, Leisure & Retail and Brands & Luxury sectors as well as the wider commercial sector. Whether you’re securing a new lease, negotiating property finance, or managing a property portfolio, we help clients move fast and grow smart with clear, concise legal support from some of the leading commercial property lawyers in London.
