What do others say
“The effective and detailed way in which Alex managed the legal planning process on Grange Farm (particularly the s.106 negotiations) reflected and fully endorsed the trust and support everyone at U&C has for him. It was a complex multi-party/element consent which built upon one of our original consents. Alex’s detailed knowledge of the history and various stakeholders were key to the success of the project”
James Scott – Urban&Civic
“His legal advice and overall stewardship of the planning elements of the project have been exemplary. More than just providing technical advice, he consistently engaged with me and my team in a strategic way that added real commercial value to the project.”
