Reputed for its ‘exemplary service’, the corporate occupier’s team at Norton Rose Fulbright counts investors, developers, and institutional landlords amongst its key roster of clients, particularly within the hospitality, logistics, and industrial sectors. The group handles the negotiation of commercial leases, pre-letting negotiations, lease restructuring and refurbishment contracts, often working in tandem with the firm’s corporate, finance, and tax disciplines. David Hawkins oversees the offering and covers real estate development and investment, mainly for international investors. Dan Wagerfield concentrates on large-scale development and regeneration projects, primarily in Asia, while Wasim Khan advises domestic and global clients on major office relocations. Charlie Pinkerton specialises in key headquarters moves, whereas ’exceptional partner’ Louisa Roe is lauded for her work in complex leasing transactions and real estate investment. Helen Finnis advises occupiers across the retail and energy fields, and Peter Lewis covers investment acquisition and disposals and property finance transactions.
