Our clients

We act for a number of large domestic and overseas family offices, private property investment companies and a variety of ultra-high and high net worth investors.

Our Expertise

The investment team is led by Stephen Elliott who has worked for over 25 years on big-ticket investment deals acting for both institutional, private and entrepreneurial investors.

Being in the heart of the property market in London’s West End has meant that Stepien Lake has amasses a significant network of surveyors, agents and other property advisors all of whom can be brought to bear in helping our clients acquire or dispose of property as well as enhancing the value of their assets whether through new leases, regears or refurbishments.

Many of our deals are complex and document intensive. To maintain effective control over the transaction process we have developed bespoke document management systems based on extranets which we personalise to suit individual clients’ needs and requirements.

Once an acquisition has been made, we have a dedicated asset management unit which provides a range of services linked to property management, including leasing, renewals, licences to sublet and assign and lease enforcement.

Our experience, knowledge and technical sophistication provide our clients with a service on a par with our counterparts in large City law firms and, given the nature of our clients, transactions are often conducted swiftly within a matter of days and discretely without publicity.
