Law firms ranked by client reviews

Development agreements cover arrangements between a landowner and a developer to bring a site forward for development, typically balancing land control, timing, finance, and the delivery of infrastructure or planning permissions. A solicitor drafts, negotiates, and finalises the terms, including planning obligations, infrastructure contributions, conditions precedent, and risk allocation, and coordinates with the land registry to register the deal. They also advise on due diligence, title issues, securities, and discharge of planning conditions if needed, and liaise with planning authorities and lenders throughout the project.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

These matters hinge on complex drafting of conditions, financial mechanisms, and risk allocation, including planning obligations and infrastructure contributions under local planning regimes, development finance terms, and potential guarantees. A solicitor is responsible for ensuring enforceable, properly registered terms and robust remedies if milestones are not met, including interaction with planning authorities, lenders, and counterparties.

Laurence Dunn

Tagged solicitor Laurence Dunn

I was needing help looking over an NDA as I'd never signed one before. Laurence was very helpful and professional throughout our time together and was brilliant at amending it to be more up-to-date and closing some potential loopholes. He was also very friendly which was nice and throughout the entire process, I never felt out of the loop or like I didn't know what was happening. Great communication, wonderful advice. Would highly recommend.

I was very impressed with Couchman Hanson Initially Amy Sullivan assessed my needs and quickly set up a "teams" call with Emily Yeardley Emily reviewed my settlement agreement and gave great advise on how to amend the document to prevent me facing a possible future tax liability Also her dealings with my company were excellent and this meant the document could be signed and completed very quickly I would thoroughly recommend Emily and Couchman Hanson to anyone Many thanks all
