Rubric Law’s commercial property team works alongside business owners, developers, landlords, and corporate buyers to deliver robust, commercially sound advice across all areas of property law. We understand that real estate transactions are rarely standalone. Whether you are buying premises, restructuring ownership, or managing risk through lease agreements, your property decisions need to align with broader strategic goals – especially in the context of mergers and acquisitions.
We have significant experience advising on the property elements of M&A deals, where timing, accuracy, and attention to detail are critical. Our lawyers collaborate closely with our corporate team to identify and resolve property issues during due diligence, structure transactions effectively, and negotiate warranties and indemnities where required. In large and complex transactions, this joined-up approach ensures that commercial property issues are addressed early, giving our clients clarity and confidence.
Beyond our M&A integration, we regularly support clients with freehold and leasehold transactions, including site acquisitions for development, investment property purchases, and asset disposals. We act for both landlords and tenants on commercial leases, advising on heads of terms, break clauses, rent reviews, and exit strategies. Our advice is always practical, with a focus on securing favourable terms and minimising future disputes.
Our team also advises on secured lending arrangements, helping businesses and lenders document property-backed finance transactions. Whether you are refinancing assets, supporting growth, or facilitating an acquisition, we ensure the legal framework is sound and the transaction completes efficiently.
As a full-service firm, we provide seamless support across corporate, commercial, and employment law. This integrated offering allows us to guide clients through complex transactions where property law is just one part of a larger picture – such as business acquisitions, company restructures, or succession planning.
Whether you are managing a single property transaction or navigating a multi-faceted corporate deal, Rubric Law offers the expertise, attention, and commercial insight to help you achieve the right outcome.
If you have any questions regarding any of our services, please get in touch.
