Property Development Lawyers
We act on a wide variety of property development work and are known for our skill in handling innovative or unusual schemes.
Our clients are involved in projects country-wide
Our clients are involved in projects country-wide, from a pre-let forward-funded industrial project in the north of England to a large mixed-use site being developed as a joint venture with a national house builder in the west country.Â
Property development projects typically require the involvement of lawyers from a wide range of disciplines including construction law, planning and tax. Our team includes lawyers with the necessary expertise in these areas so that we can provide a complete service, covering all of the requirements of property development projects. We are also experienced at leading and co-ordinating the whole team of other advisors around a client.

Recent work

- We are acting on the largest mixed-use development in one of the London boroughs since the 1940s.
