We are a specialist property law firm in the heart of London’s West End, acting in property transactions for investor purchasers — domestic and offshore.
Riseam Sharples was founded in 1997 by three experienced lawyers — Clive Sharples, Colin Riseam and David Fok — with a clear focus: to provide specialist legal advice with a personal and client-focused approach.
Nearly three decades later, that experience remains at the heart of the firm. From our offices in Covent Garden, we act for clients across the world on a range of residential property — from individual purchases and sales to development projects and substantial property investments, with particular expertise in acting for UK and offshore investors.
Our Managing Director, Clive Sharples, brings more than 50 years of experience in property law and over 40 years advising international purchasers. Together, our experience enables us to provide expert, commercially focused advice across property transactions.
With over 15 languages spoken across our team, we are able to communicate with clients from around the world in their own language, making the legal process clear and accessible wherever they are based.
While the firm has evolved considerably since 1997, our focus remains firmly on delivering the highest standard of legal advice and achieving the best possible outcome for our clients.
Today, the same commitment to expertise and personal service remains at our core.
