Our client’s also benefit from highly specialist advice from our dedicated utilities team who solely deal with connections agreements with utility providers.

Our team has undergone significant expansion in recent years – making it one of the strongest real estate and development teams in the region. In our experience clients prioritise specialist knowledge over where their solicitor is located so we tend to select project teams based on their technical understanding of the issues raised in a particular transaction rather than on where they are based.
