Practice Areas

Simon has been working as a real estate lawyer for almost 20 years, based in Birmingham for all of that time. For the last 15 years or so, he has been focussed on house building and urban residential development. His work in this sector includes regeneration projects with public sector counterparties, partnerships working and joint ventures. He specialises in strategic land projects including option agreements, hybrid option/ promotion agreements and collaboration arrangements to deliver complex, multi-party and multi-phase development schemes.

His experience in the sector has also been honed acting for leading land promoters, development companies of registered providers, consortia of landowners and for Homes England – in particular on one of their largest and most ambitious site assembly projects. Simon is commercially focussed, with a straightforward and constructive approach. He recognises that for deals to be successful in the long run, it is most effective to build positive relationships and a culture of positive teamworking with project partners.

Simon has worked with many of the national and regional housebuilders such as Vistry, Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon and Thakeham Homes leading land promoters such as Richborough, Gleeson, Obsidian and Landra Developments urban developers such Muse, LCR, Cordia UK and Prosperity Developments as well as advising Homes England on acquisition and strategic land assembly projects.
