We’re a large, well-resourced team, with an enormous amount of experience in the industry and we’re proud of our reputation for providing our clients with straightforward commercial advice. We know that our success lies in focusing on the detail and we’ll always balance our decisions based on your requirements of a commercial outcome.

Known for being approachable and accessible, we make ourselves readily available to clients and we understand that every case is unique – so we tailor our approach to make sure it’s one that works for you too.

We’ve been described as having a ‘formidable’ reputation when it comes to advising on section 106 planning obligations and our work in this area covers the majority of large house builders, as well as many developers and property development promotor clients.
