James Liffen

Spear’s Review

A specialist in handling complex sale, purchase and refinancing property transactions, James Liffen, Mishcon de Reya’s head of residential property, has been described by one client as ‘very calm under fire and attentive, as well as very professional and always available’. He is a deft hand at complex deals involving shared ownership, auction sales, portfolio purchases, tenancy and planning issues.

Liffen, whose entry into property law was ‘slightly accidental’, has spent over a decade advising on complex deals. He describes his workload as ‘very diverse’, acting on everything from leases worth tens of millions in Chelsea to student portfolios in Stoke. Whoever the client is, Liffen said, they can expect a top-notch service from Mishcon.
