Real Estate Law
Development and Construction
We advise developers, landowners, investors and other project participants on the legal aspects of property development and construction projects.
Our work covers the contractual arrangements governing the development process, from land acquisition and project structuring through to construction, sale and completion. We also advise on the allocation of responsibility and risk between owners, developers, contractors, consultants and other parties involved in the project.
What we advise on
- Development agreements
- Construction agreements
- Joint development arrangements
- Landowner and developer agreements
- Review of appointments of contractors, subcontractors and consultants
- Project structuring
- Planning and building permit issues
- Variation and delay provisions
- Defects and completion obligations
- Performance guarantees and security
- Property management structures
- Construction-related disputes
Where a project involves multiple stakeholders, we focus on ensuring that the contractual framework clearly allocates obligations, responsibility and risk.
