Elaine Dobson

Spear’s Review

Favoured by London’s jet set and international UHNWs, Taylor Wessing’s residential property group head Elaine Dobson advises on ‘all aspects’ of property law, including purchase and sale, refinancing, restructuring, tenancies and landlord and tenant matters.

She is highly experienced with statutory lease extensions and freehold claims, assisting clients ranging from HNWs to banks, investors and developers. Dobson has seen a surge of offshore buyers and Middle Eastern clients –­ but fewer from China due to the Chinese government’s capital controls. 

‘If they’re not renting out, they want to know what the capital return is going to be – and who can predict that at the moment?’ she mused.
