Commercial development

We are a team of experienced development lawyers advising on all aspects of commercial property development.
Our clients range from commercial developers, development investors and funders to landowners and tenants. We work across the public and private sectors and with a range of developers, from the experienced developer to the less experienced landowner or prospective tenant.
We regularly advise on the site assembly, acquisition, letting, funding and the sale of commercial development projects. Our experience spans a variety of funding models including debt to equity, mezzanine and forward-commitment models.
We're pragmatic and constructive in our approach to identifying, and then overcoming, the challenges presented by even the most complex development projects.
We're as committed as our clients to successful project delivery. This means our legal advice is always framed by the commercial context. Intermediaries with whom we work value our commitment to getting the job done efficiently and reliably.
