Mr McLoughlin has significant experience advising on both commercial and residential property matters, ranging from acquisition, development, sales, leasing and property management to property aspects of mergers and acquisitions, project work and financing.

His clients are both domestic and international, operating across all sectors, and include investors, developers, occupiers, and funders.
