Investors and lenders – development funding, including mezzanine finance and joint ventures
Tenants and purchasers – including agreements to lease, leases, conditional sales’ terms, interpreting specifications and recognising practical completion
Contractors, the professional team and planners – with everything from terms of appointment, warranties, the multiple variety of contracts with main and sub-contractors to agreements and undertakings with and to local authorities
