Trowers & Hamlins is an international law firm dedicated to helping businesses, investors, and public bodies build resilient, sustainable, and economically successful communities. We are deeply invested in the future of towns and cities, recognising that real estate is not just a physical asset, but the foundation on which societies evolve and economies grow.

Our multidisciplinary real estate practice spans the private and public sectors, covering everything from residential and commercial developments to complex mixed-use schemes. We provide strategic, commercially-focused legal advice that supports growth, drives innovation, and delivers long-term value.

Within the retirement living sector, we are proud to be longstanding strategic partners of ARCO, supporting the sector’s evolution since its earliest days. We bring decades of experience and an in-depth understanding of the commercial, legal, and operational factors that shape the market, from regulatory frameworks to shifting demographics and investor priorities.

Our work underpins the development of sustainable, liveable retirement communities. We combine legal rigour with sector insight to help our clients navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and deliver schemes that work—for residents, operators, investors, and wider communities.
