Key contact
James Simpson
Head of Real Estate, Cambridge
I deal with a wide range of issues including development, investment, landlord and tenant, and funding work. My particular focus and experience lies in residential development, strategic land transactions, complex collaborations, and Joint Ventures.
Experts in property development
Our property development team understand that development can be complex and difficult to navigate at times. We have a dedicated team who can guide you through the various issues that can arise on projects and whose focus will be on helping you to complete your project in a cost-effective way on time, while providing pragmatic and commercially-sound advice.
It’s in the team’s DNA to think laterally and to communicate clearly with you and your other consultants, looking at your project holistically and providing the right specialists for your project. Where appropriate, our core real estate development lawyers work alongside specialist colleagues where appropriate in areas as diverse as planning, corporate, construction, banking and agriculture.
As property development specialists we can anticipate issues early on and identify solutions that are both practical and commercial before they cost you time and money. In a market where there are always challenges, it pays to use lawyers who provide flexible, transparent and tailored advice to meet the specific needs of each client.
