The property development cycle of site acquisition, assembly and contract negotiation through funding and construction to final disposal is a challenge for real estate and commercial property lawyers. It is one we relish.
This is exciting work, where experienced lawyers make a big difference to developer clients. Specialist commercial property lawyers can significantly enhance viability and profit margins. They can accelerate cash flow by taking a vigorous and proactive approach to disposals. They can also be the difference between whether a deal happens or not. Reconciling the interests, aims and aspirations of all the parties in a development project requires skilled negotiation and innovative thinking, so that the transaction can be structured or restructured effectively. Specialist lawyers are also essential for risk avoidance and expert due diligence.
