Overview
We have one of the biggest dedicated development and regeneration teams in the UK and act for a wide range of developers, funders and local authorities, delivering innovative and commercial solutions to often complex specifications quickly and efficiently.
Our comprehensive real estate development and regeneration service includes site assembly (with or without compulsory purchase) including obtaining vacant possession, managing the planning process to secure the necessary planning permission, structuring and negotiating tax-efficient development and financing arrangements. It also extends to negotiating construction contracts, professionals' appointments and all necessary infrastructure and neighbour agreements and dealing with the lettings and sale of the development.
The broad spectrum of asset classes we deal with means our expertise advising on mixed use schemes and regeneration sites is unparalleled.
Regeneration
Our regeneration team is skilled in the delivery of complex and strategically significant long-term projects.
We are experienced in advising clients on the management of long term strategic assets, drafting development agreements and best practice gained from extensive experience of developing and managing competitive procurements.
We regularly advise on the formation and role of joint ventures (corporate and contractual) and other delivery arrangements, profit (and risk) sharing arrangements, tax mitigation, CPO powers and processes (including compromise agreements with third parties and indemnity arrangements with developer partners).
Gowling WLG is the legal supporter of the inaugural Estates Gazette 'Peter Wilson Lecture' and a campaign on the future of regeneration.
