The firm's Planning and Environment team is a well‑established, genuinely multi‑disciplinary group made up of more than 40 professionals, including planning and environmental lawyers, advocates and planning consultants.

• Advising on planning law, highways matters and related regulatory frameworks
• Undertaking due diligence for property and corporate transactions
• Handling contentious planning work, including inquiries, hearings, judicial review claims and statutory challenges
• Supporting large‑scale regeneration and development projects (experience in this area is a strong advantage)
