We are a trade partner of the Business Centres Association
and provide a legal "hotline" for members. In

affecting both business space providers and their clients.
As well as the hardy perennials (such as "lease or

Major redevelopment projects involving retail,
office and leisure use together with significant planning,
compulsory purchase and construction advice. As well as
the team identified in this document we have extensive
development experience, taking projects from site acquisition
and planning to ultimate disposal. Current instructions
include a major urban regeneration site in the south-east
of England which is to include a mix of freehold and leasehold
premises and of uses, requiring a combination of rentcharge
and covenant structures to ensure the efficient operation
of the estate as each phase is built out.

was very complex involving land swaps with Manchester
City Council and the Greater Manchester Transit Authority,
planning agreements, rights of light agreements, shareholders
agreement, consultancy agreements and financing.

Substantial employment experience advising
leading PLC clients in the beverage, sports retail and
