Top Six Property Lawyers

Mishcon partner Sonal Thakrar has been ‘excruciatingly busy’ over the past year in spite of the uncertainty that has claimed much of the market, working with an ‘interesting array’ of clients on a number of big-ticket deals.

‘We saw a trend of those who are savvy enough to take advantage of the political climate and the property market fluctuating,’ she tells Spear’s. Business was busier still after the election: ‘In the last week in December, I got a £40 million transaction that had to be done in six days.’

Thakrar continues to see her department go from strength to strength. ‘We’re doing so much more non-property work on how we deliver,’ she notes.
