Shoosmiths recognises the value of choosing SearchFlow
Accuracy, efficiency and expert support on hand are just some of the reasons Shoosmiths’ core commercial real estate team works with SearchFlow as its search partner
Shoosmiths is a law firm serving UK and international clients from offices across the UK and Brussels. The 1,500+ strong firm, which operates from 14 locations, is a trailblazer in client excellence – recognised as ‘UK Law Firm of the Year – Large sized firm’ at the British Legal Awards 2023. When the core commercial real estate team at Shoosmiths needed a pre-contract search platform, it wanted a system that would help to identify and mitigate risk for clients, and of course, provide search results as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Emma Wing at Shoosmiths says, “In short, SearchFlow delivers, which is why we’ve been using it for a long time. But we’ve also developed a relationship with the team at SearchFlow that helps us get even more value from the platform – we can make sure clients are getting the best possible view of the land or properties they’re interested in. We have to be confident we’re getting accurate, up-to-date information.”
Shoosmiths recognises that it’s possible to order searches separately from a range of independent data providers. “The time we’d spend collating that information would make the whole process ineffective. With SearchFlow, we know it’s easy to manage orders, see what’s in the pipeline, and stay on top of everything at the same time. The platform itself has features such as risk profiles and data layers that help us to identify certain risks that may apply to some properties and areas.” “With SearchFlow, all of our property searches are streamlined. There’s one point of contact for all our questions, and the platform’s features mean we’re better equipped to help identify risks.” Shoosmiths’ real estate team is working on some of the UK’s most ambitious real estate projects and conducts pre-contract searches on a daily basis.
“We’re often at the top of the list, too, when it comes to support for exciting projects on a large scale. We get great value from SearchFlow’s portfolio service in that regard, the team helps us to streamline the often complex and time consuming administrative tasks that comes in tow with multi-property or land transactions.”
“It is very user friendly – the helpdesk is always willing to help us get the information that will help our clients best. Whatever our questions are, the team’s on hand to help.”
