    Retail development work covers acquiring land or existing property for shops and shopping centers, securing planning permission, and negotiating infrastructure and planning agreements. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates option, land, development, and leases, coordinates construction contracts, and manages title, funding, and security arrangements for developers and retailers. They also handle landlord–tenant matters, rent reviews, and service charges to enable delivery of retail schemes.

    “The whole team at Pardoes were really good. It was a long winded process to complete the purchase of an indusrial unit in Somerton, which was not of Pardoes making, but they got us over the line to completion. We are more than happy with their various staff and I even use then for my own personal needs e.g. wills etc.”
