Advising on the acquisition by way of pre-letting of a prime Central London  flagship store for a luxury brand

We acted for a luxury brand in securing a new-build agreement for lease of a flagship 30,000 sq. ft. retail store on Bond Street. The transaction was completed on an accelerated timetable, reaching exchange within just seven days following the negotiation of key documents and due diligence on approximately 400 legal documents. Our role included coordinating multiple parties and professional advisers, conducting risk analysis and due diligence, negotiating transaction documents, and providing strategic legal advice. The matter involved a complex, high-value structure, tight deadlines, and cross-border elements. The successful outcome secured a rare opportunity for our client to occupy a prime Central London flagship store despite strong competition from rival luxury brands.
