ENSURING PROJECT DELIVERY THROUGH EXPERT LEGAL ADVICE

When you have a project to get off the ground, there may be a number of legal permissions you need to secure first. For example, you might need development agreements or building contracts to get started, or warranties to allow work to begin with third parties. Perhaps you are experiencing issues with access to your site or you need to secure agreements with a telecommunications provider to serve your development.

We understand that getting the legalities in place could cause delays for your project, which can have costly implications. Taking a strategic approach, our lawyers will seek the most efficient and cost-effective strategy to meet your aims.

Collaborating closely with our Commercial Property and Planning Teams, we can offer expert tailored advice on a wide range of issues, from contracts to agreements and warranties.
