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

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

Mishcon de Reya, the international law firm, used Orbital Witness to help advise a client considering the purchase of a high-value development site with complicated access rights. The team needed to untangle a private road crossing multiple properties, where static title plans, emails, and reports made it difficult to explain the issue clearly and confirm exactly how the site could be accessed.

Using Orbital Witness, Mishcon de Reya was able to bring all the relevant title information together, identify how the right of way arose, spot incorrect seller notes, and uncover previously unidentified unregistered land. By visually walking the client through the road and titles in a virtual site visit, Orbital Witness helped the firm deliver a clearer due diligence solution and add significant value; the experience was strong enough that rolling the tool out across the real estate team was described as a “no-brainer.”
