The real estate development market is changing.
As one of the largest, market-leading commercial and mixed-use development practices in the UK, we are uniquely positioned to cater to the ever-changing real estate development industry.
Our real estate development lawyers provide practical, timely and innovative advice tailored to your needs. The size of our group enables our people to develop specialist knowledge and expertise in specific areas, rather than being generalists.

We are present and maintain strong networks in all the key global wealth hubs and we are proud to provide practical, timely and innovative advice tailored to your needs.
Whether you are a major or niche developer, a landowner (both public and private sector), an investor or a funder, we will work with you to reduce risk, find opportunities and achieve your business goals.
Our real estate development legal expertise includes:
- site acquisition and complex land assembly, including through compulsory purchase
- development agreements of all types, including pre-lettings, options, forward funding agreements, joint venture, partnership and land promotion arrangements
- all aspects of planning, from strategic advice on applications, section 106 and infrastructure agreements, project management of appeals and court challenges
- construction services, including procurement
- letting, funding and eventual sale
We can support you across a range of sectors, including:
- life sciences;
- residential and mixed-use schemes including built-to-rent, assisted living and retirement living
