Top 10 of 1,413 law firms for Development Agreements, Contract Law

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.

Michael Feakes and Head of Commercial

Tagged solicitor Michael Feakes and Head of Commercial

Over the past 6 months I have had the legal support I needed from Michael Feakes. Michael keeps legal matters simple. He helped me with several contracts and updated our terms online. From the outset, I found Michael to be very knowledgeable and informative in the way he made sure he captured our requirements. He quickly gets to the point to ensure our legal documents are clear, concise, and most importantly – say what we mean. In summary I found Michael to be incredibly customer focussed delivering professional legal advice for a competitive price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Feakes & Co to any prospective client.

We have partnered with Forbes for many years for employment law support. This was the first time I have worked with Sheroze Nadeem and Katie Lee. We required support with a third party contract dispute and I cannot fault the service we received. Calls or emails were returned quickly and advice was provided in an easy to understand format and we received a lot of support during the dispute. They negotiated for us and the outcome was more in our favour than it would have been without their support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team.
