Rees Roberts Solicitors

Rees Roberts Solicitors is a boutique law firm which provides specialist legal advice on the full range of commercial and residential property issues. Recently, the practice has expanded its litigation team to cope with the rising demand for dispute resolution.

The practice is run by Phil Rees-Roberts, who decided to start his own specialist property firm seven years ago, despite reaching a partner position at Berrymans Lace Mawer.

The business model has been based on offering the expertise and modern resources of a large firm with the specialism and flexibility of a niche practice.

By combining partner-level advice, flexibility and client contact, Phil has been able to act for national listed organisations as well as owner-managed businesses.

His expertise in negotiating compulsory purchase orders (CPO) has seen him play a significant role in Liverpool's regeneration, acting on landmark CPO cases including Edge Lane and the Lime Street Gateway.

The team use their expertise to offer high-quality, tailored advice without compromising close relationships. This means that the practice can offer a genuinely flexible and people-focused culture that allows its lawyers to use their skills and talents without the restrictions that larger firms can present.

As the UK's economy becomes more uncertain it is these smaller niche firms which will come into their own, using their flexibility to offer the best service, with the lowest overheads.
