Your challenges
Housing and commercial development schemes remain at the heart of regeneration projects for our towns and city centres, as a means of promoting social and economic development. So, too, is the continued and ever-more pressing need to address the country’s housing deficit, with the delivery of new homes, infrastructure and facilities in sustainable communities.
The tightening of the strings on the public purse and ongoing challenging market conditions mean that there have to be new and innovative ways of ensuring these developments can go ahead.
Achieving your ambitions
We work with a wide range of clients in the private and public sectors on many and varied projects – from town centre redevelopments to major green field schemes. Whether you are a landowner, a developer or a promoter of development, we can advise on land assembly including strategic options, joint venture and partnering arrangements, collaboration and cooperation agreements, planning promotion and funding and development agreements. Working closely with specialists in our corporate, commercial, banking and tax teams, we can help you achieve tax efficient structures and robust and appropriate delivery vehicles. Our aim is to secure the successful delivery of your project.
The strength you need
We have 15 partners and more than 40 more lawyers who work on regeneration and development projects, including and alongside specialists providing advice on issues relating to procurement, construction, planning, environmental matters, tax and secured lending.
