Our sectors

A very high level of legal expertise is essential, but it is not enough on its own. Our clients also expect us to be embedded in their sectors, to understand the challenges they face, and to offer strategic advice that takes them closer to their commercial goals.

Our strong foundations in the housebuilding market, built on well-established relationships with key stakeholders in the sector, make us more than just legal advisers.

We understand the challenges facing the housebuilding industry at all levels – from small bespoke developments to the national blueprint for housing strategy. This allows us to offer an informed, practical and collaborative approach when supporting you through the lifecycle of residential development. It’s also why our market-leading housebuilding lawyers have earned a reputation for strong client relationships and exemplary service.

As a team we deliver technical excellence together with a desire to innovate within the sector. We advise on residential development across all types of tenures – including student housing, build-to-rent, social housing, urban developments and city schemes.

Our clients range from major housebuilders, SME housebuilders, public sector organisations, Registered Social Landlords, local authorities, property developers, investment companies, funders and landowners to construction companies.

We work with leading organisations across the housebuilding sector spanning the lifetime of a development, including:

Acquisitions and disposals of sites
Strategic option agreements and promotion agreements
Collaboration agreements and development agreements
Planning applications, appeals and negotiating planning agreements
Funding and finance
