Practice areas

Our PEC practice comprises lawyers who specialise in planning, environment and construction law. It is essential to our ability to deliver on corporate and commercial transactions where wide ranging advice is needed, and issues that are pertinent to each of these disciplines can frequently arise.

We provide a seamless and holistic service if your business or undertaking is involved in:

• the early stages of real estate development (public or private);
• expansion and requires substantial real estate assets (such as airports, manufacturing or leisure);
• the remediation and exploitation of its land banks; and
• large energy based and/or infrastructure projects.

We undertake transactional and advisory work as well as dispute resolution and our lawyers can help you with the contentious aspects of your work, from planning challenges and judicial reviews through to environmental litigation and prosecutions and construction adjudications, mediations, arbitrations and trials, both UK based and internationally.

We advise on English law projects and disputes around the world, working with local lawyers and experts in the relevant jurisdictions where necessary. We have strong links with specialist construction and environmental lawyers and experts abroad whose help we can enlist at short notice when required. Our clients benefit from our independent status, which allows us to put together genuinely tailor-made international teams of legal and technical experts.
