DLA Piper has advised St James's Place UK plc and the St James's Place Property Unit Trust on the purchase of Richmond Riverside from a fund owned by JP Morgan. The purchase price was in excess of £64m.

Overlooking the Thames, Richmond Riverside is a unique mix of residential, retail and office space in south-west London, combining classical architecture with contemporary interior design.

The DLA Piper team was led by Paul Jayson, partner, with support from Roos Van Roemburg, Kate Etherden, Ella Welsby, Kirsty Emery, Gemma Lodge, Helen Cairns, Michael Fry and Vanessa Ralph.

Paul Jayson said: "Richmond Riverside is striking in terms of its design, and I am thrilled DLA Piper advised on the transaction. This complex deal was completed in a very short period of time at a busy time of the year, demonstrating our ability to work efficiently and cohesively."
