Your challenges
Regeneration remains a concern for local government as a means of promoting social and economic development, even if it seems to have fallen from Whitehall’s priorities agenda. We realise how difficult it is to pursue regeneration aims in the testing economic environment, with funding constraints and with an evermore complex political and legislative landscape to negotiate.
Achieving your ambitions
We offer a full service to support our local authority clients in pressing forward with their regeneration schemes and development of sustainable communities. We are keeping ourselves at the forefront of the Government’s localism agenda, with a watching brief on the proposals for planning in the post-regional strategy world, the importance of enterprise zones, the role of local economic partnerships and new initiatives such as the community right to build.
We also see the opportunities for delivering new schemes through implementing innovative finance raising powers in proposed tax increment financing and local authority bonds, all of which will see your ambitions for your locality brought to fruition in the future.
The strength you need
Our team offers a full service from specialist development lawyers, with support available from our corporate, commercial, banking, employment and dispute resolution teams. We have experience drawn from the diverse client base encompassing developers, investors, funders, landowners, occupiers and a full spectrum of public sector bodies. Our lawyers have excellence and depth of expertise in real estate matters, extending to specialist teams in construction, planning, compulsory purchase matters, tax, environment and secured lending.
Many developments involve cooperation and collaboration between a number of stakeholders, often for the pooling of budgets and the use of shared facilities following development, and we advise on these often complex multi-party arrangements.
Our approach recognises the need for bespoke solutions combined with a reliable, resilient and friendly service.
