The practice provides advice on the purchase, sale, development, letting, management and financing of properties as well as handling construction and real estate disputes. The Real Estate disputes team deals with all types of commercial and residential real estate disputes. As well as Real Estate, Rosenblatt’s practice areas cover dispute resolution, corporate, banking and finance, construction and projects, employment, financial services, IP/technology/ media, regulatory and tax. Operating across such a vast array of practice areas, the firm works hard to ensure high quality client services for everyone it supports, as Caroline highlights. “Here at Rosenblatt, our focus is on achieving the client’s objective in the most effective and cost-efficient manner. We always seek to resolve disputes before they reach the court, but if that is not possible, put everything into winning. We always adopt a partner-led approach to ensure our most experienced people are handling client cases along with the support of the broader team. Our partners are always available for clients which gives the clients added comfort during what can be a very anxious period during litigation. “This partner-led approach ensures that everyone on the team is able to support clients and offer a truly exceptional experience. After all, Rosenblatt’s culture is at the heart of our success. Since the company was founded by Ian Rosenblatt, the focus has been on employing a team of hard-working, entrepreneurial, like- minded people to achieve success for our clients. The tone of the organisation is set by the Senior Management and Partners, who work closely with all fee-earners to ensure the company’s high standards are met.” It is the firm’s team who drive it to success, and have helped set it apart from other firms. In such a competitive market, firms such as Rosenblatt have to work hard to stand out. It is Rosenblatt’s exceptional success rate and dedicated senior team that marks it out as a great option for clients, as Caroline is eager to showcase. “Setting us apart from the competition is our dedication to success and skilled team. Rosenblatt has one of the highest success rates from Alternative Billing Arrangements in the profession, with 84 per cent of litigation cases involving the firm over the last six years having been won by the firm. “It is also led by a professional, experienced and specialist management team, headed by CEO, Nicola Foulston, who was appointed in September 2016. Rosenblatt is different to many law firms which are run by senior partners with little or no commercial management experience. It means our lawyers are entirely focused on clients, and not running the company.” As she looks to the future, Caroline believes that Rosenblatt will continue to flourish, as she is proud to conclude. “Going forward, we are building a profitable and growing business and Rosenblatt is well-positioned to benefit from the changes seen in the legal marketplace in the UK in recent years. Our commercial approach and focus on dispute resolution mean we are well positioned to capitalise on opportunities. The funds raised by our IPO will allow us to take advantage of what is a highly fragmented market as well as fund more litigation ‘in-house’. “Ultimately, Rosenblatt has a strong reputation and is one of the top litigation practices in the capital. The UK will remain one of the world’s top markets for legal services, with London the preferred location for settlement of disputes involving international companies. Our proven track record, strong client relationships, experienced and entrepreneurial management team, and strategy for growth means we are very confident about the future.” Rosenblatt is a professional legal services company supporting clients across a range of practice areas. Caroline DeLaney, Head of Real Estate Disputes, provides us with a fascinating insight into her team and the work it undertakes.
