Property

Property litigation and advice constitutes a core offering from Ten Old Square, which is listed as a Leading Set for Property Litigation in the Legal 500.

Our Property barristers are ranked Tier 5 in Property Litigation in Legal 500 2020: “Work undertaken by Ten Old Square includes commercial landlord and tenant disputes, rent review arbitrations, dilapidations, leasehold enfranchisement, estoppel, co-habitees, and trusts.”
