Our specialist team advises on commercial and mixed-use development, incorporating all sustainability, regeneration, environmental, construction and planning issues. We have extensive experience advising on the development, acquisition, management and disposal, including forward sales and pre-lets, of property assets and portfolios across a range of private and public sectors.

The team includes dedicated lawyers in planning, construction, funds, development finance and asset management, along with particular expertise in corporate and tax structuring.

Extensive expertise

Our expertise includes advising on complex site assemblies, dealing with rights of light and boundary issues, obtaining vacant possession, highway and services diversions, negotiating planning and highway agreements, negotiating construction documentation and advising on procurement, joint ventures, sustainable development and zero carbon compliance issues.

We have in-depth understanding of the complexities of acquiring large sites for development, and tailor our project team to suit our clients' individual needs and ensure a partner-led, client-focused service.
