Leading new-model firm Excello Law is one of just four firms to join the University of Leicester’s first dedicated real estate legal panel.
This formal partnership will commence from October 2025, initially for two years, and builds on Excello’s years of existing experience advising the University on property matters.
The Excello team will advise the University on all aspects of their real estate portfolio including transactional work and development and construction advice. With dedicated property law specialists based in the region, Excello is well-placed to act for the University on the full breadth of real estate matters including acquisitions and disposals, development transactions, leases and general portfolio management.
The partnership will also extend to matters related to Space Park Leicester, a world-leading hub for space research, innovation and enterprise founded through a collaboration between the University, industry partners and government.
