Retail Property Services

Biggart Baillie advises on Scottish aspects of JJB CVA.

Biggart Baillie has acted on behalf of major UK and international retailers for over 30 years making our expertise and knowledge second to none. Our clients instruct us with total confidence that they are instructing the right people: retail lawyers who know exactly what they are doing.

Chambers 2011 commented that "....this "undoubtedly first-rate retail firm is noted for its broad range of clients".....

Retail developers, occupiers, landlords and investors are able to call on extensive resources to guide them through projects of varying scope and scale irrespective of location. Indeed we have been involved in every major retail development in Scotland. In addition to core property services, Biggart Baillie can support every aspect of retailing operations from mergers and acquisitions to property deals, commercial transactions, dispute resolution, intellectual property (IP), and licensing.

In the current distressed economic climate, we are increasingly advising on “hot topics” such as retailer insolvencies and administrations. This advice includes acquisitions for Administrators, pre-packs, keep-open disputes, rent arrears and service charge disputes.

Our property experts are supported by our in-house Corporate Recovery and Dispute Management teams.

We deal with the Scottish dimension of major UK deals and UK administrators of major retailers and have recently completed the Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA) for JJB Sports in Scotland.

We understand clients commercial requirements and tailor our advice to meet your requirements. Our knowledge and experience enable us to deliver commercial, proactive advice which you need to ensure you can stay one step ahead of the competition.

We've worked with retailers in all shapes and sizes - from the newest to the oldest - from the biggest to the smallest.
