Development work covers acquiring land, securing planning consent, and negotiating the contracts and arrangements that turn a site into usable commercial space. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates option and promotion agreements, planning and site-assembly deeds, and construction and development contracts, coordinating with planning authorities, lenders, contractors, and other partners. They help manage risk around planning conditions, title issues, and funding milestones, guiding projects from feasible brief to practical completion.

What Developer clients highlight
“Michelle and her team in the conveyancing department, as well as Niall, from corporate and commercial, are simply outstanding. I would highly recommend them: professional, meticulous, and genuinely committed to seeing your case through to completion. I had a particularly tricky set of sales involving a complex legal issue, and the entire team at Hawley and Rodgers was brilliant. They went to bat on my behalf, ensuring my interests were fully represented at every stage. Thanks to their efforts and dedication, the case was successfully resolved—something that simply wouldn’t have been possible without them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
