What can I do for you

Alex is a principal associate in the planning team. He acts for developers, landowners and local authorities on some of the largest and most complex strategic developments in the country.

Supporting your ambitions

In 2024, Alex negotiated the s106 agreement for the delivery of a further 1,500 new homes at Urban&Civic's exemplar new settlement, Alconbury Weald. He has been advising U&C for over a decade, and in particular at Alconbury (6,500 new homes), Waterbeach (6,500 new homes) and Wintringham (2,800 new homes). He has particular experience in negotiating highly complex s106 agreements and providing strategic planning advice for major new settlements and commercial developments.

What do others say

“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.”

What our clients say about us

I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
