Our Real Estate Development Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to support our clients through the entire development lifecycle. Below are some of the key areas where our expertise can help guide your project to success:
- We assist clients with the legal and commercial aspects of acquiring land and property for development, ensuring that all due diligence is conducted thoroughly and efficiently. This includes advising on title issues, planning permissions, zoning regulations, environmental concerns, and any other risks associated with acquiring a site.
- Our team also helps identify and resolve any potential legal challenges before proceeding with the acquisition, ensuring a smooth transaction process.
- Real estate developments often involve collaboration between multiple parties, and we have extensive experience in structuring joint ventures (JVs) and partnerships. We help clients negotiate and draft JV agreements that clearly define each party’s rights, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangements.
- Whether you are working with co-developers, investors, or landowners, our team ensures that the joint venture structure is aligned with your goals, ensuring a transparent and equitable partnership.
- We provide advice on the structuring and negotiation of option agreements and conditional contracts, which allow developers to secure the rights to purchase land or property subject to specific conditions being met.
- These agreements are critical for managing risk in development projects, and we ensure that all terms are clearly defined, protecting our clients’ interests and offering flexibility in the acquisition process.
- We draft and negotiate development agreements that set out the terms and conditions under which a development project will be executed. These agreements outline key elements such as timelines, costs, delivery obligations, and any warranties or guarantees.
- Our team ensures that development agreements protect your interests, establish clear milestones, and account for potential risks, such as delays, disputes, or unforeseen costs, during the development process.
- Navigating the planning and permitting process is often one of the most challenging aspects of real estate development. We assist clients in securing planning permissions, obtaining necessary consents, and negotiating with local authorities to address any planning-related issues.
- We guide clients through the regulatory landscape, ensuring that your development complies with zoning, environmental, and building regulations, as well as any other legal requirements.
- Our team has extensive experience advising on construction contracts, helping clients negotiate and draft agreements with contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. We ensure that all terms and conditions are clearly defined to protect the developer’s interests and ensure the smooth execution of construction projects.
- We also assist with procurement strategies, advising on the most appropriate contractual framework for your project, including design and build contracts, construction management agreements, and traditional lump-sum contracts.
- For residential developments, we provide advice on the sale and marketing of properties, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations, including consumer protection laws, anti-money laundering (AML) rules, and the Landlord and Tenant Act.
- Our team helps navigate the legal processes of residential sales, from drafting sale agreements to handling disputes and ensuring that the project complies with local housing regulations and planning conditions.
- We have significant expertise in working with pension funds in the acquisition and transfer of real estate assets. Our team understands the complexities of pension fund regulations and structures, helping to optimise the tax efficiency of property investments.
- Whether you are acquiring real estate for a pension fund portfolio or transferring assets, we provide tailored advice on structuring these deals to ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks and maximise value for pension fund investors.
- Real estate development projects require careful tax planning and financing strategies. Our team offers expert advice on structuring projects to minimise tax liabilities and maximise financing options.
- We assist with securing financing through debt or equity, including tax-efficient structures, project financing, and managing tax liabilities associated with development and property transfers.
- Our team helps clients anticipate and mitigate risks throughout the development process. Should disputes arise, we offer expert dispute resolution services, including mediation, arbitration, and litigation, to ensure that any issues are resolved efficiently.
- We work closely with our clients to assess risks and develop strategies that reduce the likelihood of disputes, providing proactive legal support that ensures projects stay on track.
