We don’t just look after you, we look out for you. That means we bring you insights, advice and keep you up to date on all kinds of legal matters so you can keep ahead.
We match a member of the team with the right expertise to every client, who will invest time getting to know you, who will look after your interests and ensure you have access to the whole firm when you need it.
The legal and financial matters might be complex, but we aim to keep things straightforward and explain everything in terms that are relevant to you.
Strategic land development is about preparing land for future use, often before it has planning permission. The aim is to secure that permission and increase the site’s overall value. This process involves identifying, acquiring, promoting and preparing land so it is ready for development at the right time.
The focus of strategic land development is long-term planning. By taking a structured approach early on, landowners and promoters can put the foundations in place to secure planning permission and significantly enhance the value of the land. Each stage requires careful consideration to balance opportunity with risk.
At Tees, we bring the right people together, working with landowners and promoters to make sure every legal aspect of a project is covered from the outset. Many of our clients come from the agricultural sector, and we understand the practical realities of developing rural land. We also provide proactive advice about potential projects in the area, helping landowners maximise the value of their land.
When parts of a site are used for essential but less profitable features, such as playgrounds or green space, we help ensure every landowner receives a fair share of the overall profits from the land sale. Our role is to keep the process transparent and equitable for all parties involved.

We don't have the need to employ law firms very often, but the team at Tees made the process of our share sale very easy to understand. For anyone not used to the legal process, I would recommend Tees as they are very easy to work with.
