Central London estates
Forsters is one of few law firms to specialise in working with Central London estate clients. We have a long history with these estates, including dealing with world famous landmarks, spaces and communities. Many of the estates have been owned and stewarded by families, institutions and companies for centuries.
We recognise that custodians of these “Great Estates” have to grapple with the unique challenge of maintaining legacies for future generations whilst simultaneously responding to and creating modern spaces, maintaining investments, taking the lead in sustainability and raising the standards of customer service in a global city.
Forsters (and its predecessor firm) has acted as a partner to Central London estates owners for over 250 years. We value, above all, forming long-term relationships with our clients, whilst being alive to modern day challenges. Our deep market experience, particularly in private wealth and property, has allowed us to work with clients in making a positive contribution to the heritage and communities of London. We appreciate the importance of understanding our clients’ aims and the history of their London estate, tailoring our service to the requirements of their unique customers, charities and communities.
Along with core real estate advice, we offer a complete service across all key disciplines including Construction, Planning, Real Estate Disputes, Finance and Corporate. We also deliver private wealth services including Tax, Trust and Estates.
