Acquisition and Appraisal

Early identification of the key risks and liabilities associated with a project or acquisition has a huge impact on their viability and success. That’s why we work with our clients from the earliest possible stage to pinpoint and mitigate these risks, maximising opportunity and delivering optimal results.

From land acquisitions, property investments and redevelopments through to corporate acquisitions and strategic infrastructure assets, we have a proven track record across all sectors both in the UK and internationally.

Underpinned by our cross-discipline collaborative approach, our diverse team provides leading-edge advice across a huge range of technical areas. Spanning environmental, climate resilience and health and safety through to technical constraints analysis for future investment considerations, we help our clients develop a thorough understanding of the risks and opportunities relating to any transaction.

We think differently, and our creative specialists are at the forefront of developing industry-leading risk management tools and methodologies, underpinned by our drive to find sustainable outcomes for our clients and communities. Our dynamic approach has seen our team establish a reputation as leading risk advisors throughout the financial and legal sectors, among many others.
