Case Study: Mishcon de Reya visualises complex property access issues with Orbital Witness

How Mishcon de Reya helped a client visualise a solution to a complex issue

Mishcon de Reya, a law firm, faced a complex challenge when a client considered purchasing a development site with difficult access via a private road across multiple properties. Manually piecing together the access rights from numerous individual title plans was time-consuming and prone to error. It was also difficult to clearly communicate this multifaceted issue and its proposed solution to the client using static documents.

The firm utilized Orbital Witness to visualize and analyze the property data. The solution aggregated information from multiple titles into a single, visual platform, allowing lawyers to quickly identify errors in the seller's notes and a previously missed area of unregistered land. During a conference call, they used Orbital Witness to conduct a virtual site visit for the client, clearly walking them through the issues. This enabled the client to understand and address the problems before acquisition. The value added by Orbital Witness led to its firm-wide rollout across the real estate team.
