Berry Smith LLP is a well-established, Cardiff based, commercial law firm comprising 11 partners and more than 70 staff, with a satellite office in Bridgend. It is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and a member of the Legal Sustainability Alliance.

Despite the uncertainty and economic issues arising from the covid-19 pandemic and UK Brexit over the last 12 months, we have been fortunate as our clients have in general remained relatively stable and active in the South Wales commercial property market. We are well placed with a strong team of experienced fee earners and support staff to deal with a continued expansion of commercial property work once the economic restrictions and issues arising from the pandemic start to ease.
The Commercial Property team has continued to strengthen and develop its relationships with locally based banks and financial institutions including the Development Bank of Wales, Principality Commercial, Handelsbanken and HSBC and with various housebuilders and commercial developers including Waterstone Homes, Jehu Group, Portabella, Vastint Hospitality and Mumbles Group. It has also seen a significant increase in work relating to the National Procurement Service Legal Services Framework Agreement for public sector work advising Welsh Government, various local authorities and other public sector organisations on commercial property matters. New clients in the last year have included Monmouthshire Building Society, Denbighshire County Council, TSF1 and ASK Recovery.
The firm has dealt with a wide range of significant commercial property transactions over the last twelve months acting for local, national and international organisations from a range of sectors including manufacturing, life science, hotels, finance, residential and commercial development, public sector and health care.
