Band 3

Nick McDonald focuses his practice on energy infrastructure projects, while also advising on residential-led mixed-use development and regeneration projects. He offers particular strength in compulsory purchase orders.

Nick is attentive. His level of detail is excellent and he does not waver or pick and choose what to respond to. I take the approach that 'if Nick is OK with it, it's good to go'.

Nick is very impressive on all aspects of compulsory purchase and planning law.

Nick is very strong and knowledgeable on the compulsory purchase system.
