We are experts in advising on major development and regeneration schemes, combining legal expertise with innovative and commercially focused strategic advice. Our work has included the UK's largest development project, the £8bn Battersea Power Station, and advising Peel Group on the 200-acre mixed use development of MediaCityUK.

Our team solves contentious and non-contentious issues across the entire spectrum of economic and social infrastructure construction, from transport and communications to hospitals and schools. For example, advising on the construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel linking Denmark to Germany and on construction of the new Bahrain Southern Passenger Airport.

We have extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of both conventional power generation and renewables, including nuclear, on-shore and off-shore wind, solar and biomass. Clients that have benefitted include the UK Investment Bank (National Wealth Fund) who we are advising on its investment in the 3.2GW new nuclear power station at Sizewell and Highview Power   who we advised on its groundbreaking £300m clean energy storage programme.

We are well known for our work in utilities infrastructure, advising electricity, gas, water and telecoms utilities on their major infrastructure projects and frameworks. Advising household names such as National Grid, National Gas, SGN, United Utilities, Yorkshire Water and Southern Water, we play a central role throughout – from crafting project and framework agreements (primarily based around the NEC forms), to advising on risks management and supporting disputes resolution. 

We are experts in adjudication, litigation, arbitration and all forms of ADR – working with you to establish an appropriate strategy by effective case management, whatever the dispute.  We have the experience and capacity to help you at all levels and have successfully managed some of the largest disputes seen in the sector.

Working with government departments, local authorities and private sector operators, we identify areas for operational savings, resolve issues of contractual interpretation and pursue and defend claims for time, compensation and performance deductions. We have represented NHS trusts in more than 20 healthcare PFI disputes and worked on the termination of the UK's largest waste PFI project.

Over 50 of our expert lawyers have been at the forefront of this critical area of UK law, advising on some of the largest residential and hotel portfolios and claims. We analyse all angles and represent freeholders, developers and tenants.
