Giving you expert advice and legal support regarding your commercial property needs, getting you the outcome you want.
Commercial property comes in all shapes and sizes. It can include offices, industrial space, restaurants, or retail space, but it can also involve more bespoke properties, such as airfields, marinas, and energy generation. As a result, we work with a diverse range of clients and have unique experience across a number of different areas. If you are in business then – regardless of your sector – the chances are that you will own, mortgage or rent commercial property at some point.
Leading legal experts
Our extensive experience in commercial property means that we understand how to achieve the right result, whatever the transaction. We do this by becoming your business partner, understanding your objectives, and dedicating ourselves to the transaction as if it were our own. We pride ourselves on adding value, and ensuring that we approach each transaction with pragmatism and efficiency.
We also work closely with other teams across Moore Barlow to ensure that you receive clear, rounded advice. Please take a look at some of our specialist sectors below for more information. In any event, our partner led team would be delighted to hear about your commercial property needs.

The Moore Barlow team have proved patient, and highly flexible, supporting us as we develop our acquisition strategy, and dealing efficiently with the many landlords’ solicitors that are not normally comfortable with our market. For us, the biggest plus is that we can be confident that, where matters are dragging on, it is the landlord that we need to be chasing, not Moore Barlow. They work very well with us to ensure that they/we are never holding up a transaction, and so together we demonstrate absolute professionalism.
