Major strategic real estate, planning and infrastructure projects can throw up legal problems as complex and substantial as the schemes themselves. If you’re going to complete your development project successfully, you should partner with a law firm with deep experience of real estate planning and consent processes. We are at the forefront of this work, and as regulations and environmental challenges continue to evolve, we can help you stay ahead of developments too - so your project can stay on track.
We have a team of over 40 dedicated real estate planning lawyers with frontline experience pursuing consent of major, nationally significant infrastructure projects. Whether your project is for energy and renewables, a major regeneration scheme (commercial, retail, housing or mixed-use), highways or town and country planning, we can help. We also have a dedicated team of compulsory purchase practitioners, should that be a part of your process.
We’ll always help you focus on the big picture, by taking care of the obstacles you face. If you’re a landowner or a developer, our real estate planning lawyers will help you secure planning consent or compensation by steering you through the procedural, legal, tactical and strategic challenges.
From consent orders to public inquiries, environmental impact assessments to planning agreements, we understand the technical advice you will need at each stage, the government hurdles you have to clear, and the market pressures you operate under. With strategic support from a leading global law firm, you can get your project completed as quickly, cleanly and cost-effectively as possible.
