Development and Expansion

The chance to build new schools and colleges or to refurbish old ones is a huge opportunity. It can also be very complicated.

Having recently advised on the creation of a free school from scratch, we are delighted to offer the expertise of our specialist construction, planning and environmental lawyers to assist with any major capital projects including:

• negotiating the legal and funding documents with the Department for Education and local authorities
• assisting you through the planning application and appeals process
• drafting and negotiating the construction agreements with developers and subcontractors, and advising on any disputes under the construction agreement.
