Development work

In order to give support to a successful property developer a lawyer needs to understand the complexities of the finance structure and the web of contracts with contractors and the professional team – this is our area of expertise.

We know that “time is money” and that on development work, clients want a quick and commercial response from their lawyers. Our approach is to get into the detail of a property title at the outset of an instruction and to quickly identify any legal problems. We will then work with clients to provide pro active solutions and to ensure that the best possible deal is negotiated.

Property development work is at the heart of what we do as a firm and it is this expertise that sets us apart from our competitors. We have a property development team that includes technical property expertise as well as lawyers with finance skills so that we can implement innovative and complex finance structures.

We recognise that developers need a full service and we can cover all aspects of a development, from land acquisition, planning, construction through to eventual disposal.
