We advise both developers and landowners on projects across the country, from two-plot builds to complex, large-scale housing schemes. Our clients include commercial developers, housing associations, investors and private landowners. Whatever the scale of your project, we will help structure your development to support smooth progress and maximise value.
Our real estate development specialists provide the full range of legal services needed to support your project. This includes site acquisitions, financing arrangements, joint ventures, highways agreements, infrastructure agreements, planning and biodiversity net gain. We make sure every legal aspect of your development is properly aligned.
We work closely with our in-house planning team and independent financial advisers to deliver coordinated legal and financial advice under one roof. This joined-up approach helps reduce delays, manage risk and keep your project moving forward with clarity and confidence.
We do more than handle documents. We work alongside our clients for the long term, offering practical advice as projects evolve and regulations change. Many of the businesses we support have grown from small developers into major regional players, and we continue to advise them at every stage. Real estate is a fast-moving sector, and we make sure your legal position keeps pace.
