At Maddocks, we have built deep expertise and insight based on years of advising public and private sector clients on all aspects of a property transaction or development project.
We advise on real estate issues from start to finish - from purchasing and developing land to planning issues, financing and, if needed, solving disputes.
We work extensively with government clients, corporate tenants and property advisors, corporate property owners and developers to define what they’re wanting to achieve with a property transaction or project and set a strategy to achieve it.
Our experience shines at the intersection between the law and business acumen, with our deep knowledge of the market and the associated regulatory challenges, to create a full property law service. Through supporting commercial, construction, tax, finance and planning expertise, we anticipate and manage any potential risks.
Our lawyers are acutely aware of the need to balance a financial return of a government organisation’s portfolio with appropriate probity and public interest safeguards. With our corporate clients, where property may not be a core business function but a critical enabler of business, we’re equipped with the insight to help achieve bigger business goals.
