Our Services
SWS Lawyers offer a comprehensive range of legal services to clients involved in the development of commercial, industrial and residential property.
At the initial stage, clients regularly seek our advice on options for structuring the project. In this regard, we advise on development agreements, joint ventures, agreements for lease and finance documents. We assist with subdivisions and also advise on planning constraints affecting the proposed project. Where appropriate, we assist with appealing conditions of development consents. Our commercial team can then proceed to assist with the negotiation of relevant building and construction contracts.
Easements, land-sharing and access rights can significantly affect the value of a property - whether it be a large scale commercial project or a simple residential property. We have particular expertise in this area and are regularly sought after to advise on how best to procure or discharge an easement. Clients also seek our assistance to resolve disputes about the manner in which an easement can be used.
Our team can also negotiate and draft (voluntary) planning agreements, crane airspace deeds and ground anchor deeds.
Each of our Property and Planning lawyers has a genuine interest in innovative land use, town planning, architecture and design. We follow development trends closely and surround ourselves with a network of expert property advisers on whom we can draw to assist our clients where necessary. Our clients benefit from our ability to work closely with other advisers to implement cost and time effective solutions.
