Our team advises on the following areas:
We advise on unconditional and conditional sale and purchase contracts, ensuring that transactions are structured to maximise opportunities and minimise risks. Our expertise includes negotiating terms that align with your commercial objectives and guiding you through the legal complexities of acquiring or disposing of development land.
Exclusivity agreements provide certainty in transactions, securing a period where parties can negotiate without external competition. We ensure these agreements are robust, protecting your interests while keeping deals on track.
Our team drafts and negotiates option agreements that allow flexibility in acquiring land at the right time and under the right conditions. We help clients structure agreements that mitigate risks while securing future development potential.
We advise on structuring promotion agreements and joint ventures that align with your strategic goals. Whether working with landowners, developers, or investors, we help you navigate profit-sharing structures, planning obligations, and exit strategies to maximise returns.
From building contracts to professional appointments and warranties, our construction law specialists provide guidance on risk management, compliance, and contract negotiation. We help ensure that construction projects progress smoothly and disputes are minimised.
Navigating planning requirements is crucial to any development. Our planning experts provide advice on key issues such as the Biodiversity Net Gain requirement and infrastructure agreements like Section 106 Agreements. We help secure the permissions you need while ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.
Beyond dispute resolution, our property litigation team helps unlock development sites by resolving title issues, clarifying land rights, and advising on the enforceability of covenants. We work proactively to address legal barriers and keep projects on track.
Our team streamlines the estate disposal process for both commercial and residential developments. We prepare the necessary documentation to facilitate efficient and profitable sales, ensuring a smooth experience for all parties involved.
When property developments face financial challenges, we provide clear, pragmatic advice on insolvency matters. Whether dealing with distressed assets, restructuring, or insolvency-related transactions, we help protect your interests and navigate complex legal frameworks.
