Legal advice for strategic land

Strategic land projects often involve major investment from multiple partners and complex legal challenges. Our specialist team helps you navigate these issues and deliver projects on time

We work on both greenfield and brownfield sites with medium to long-term development potential, supporting landowners, promoters, and developers. Our integrated approach combines the expertise of our real estate and planning lawyers with our construction, public law, tax and corporate specialists.

We can guide your project through every stage, from initial acquisition through to planning and development, including:

  • Deal structuring – strategic options, conditional contracts, joint venture and collaboration agreements
  • Planning advice – policy applications, planning applications, planning appeals and environmental matters
  • Real estate advisory, transactions and disputes – disposals, commercial and agricultural tenancies, restrictive covenants and rights of way, heritage property.

Our aim is to enhance land value, create achievable development potential, and help you turn land into thriving new communities.
