We believe that our clients deserve to make big returns on their investments, and we are determined to put our bright minds and technical knowledge to good use

Doing ‘just’ what we are told isn’t in our nature – we use whole-market thinking to ensure that any planning problem is approached with confidence, creativity and pragmatism.

No matter the size of the project, our team is fully equipped to deal with the large and the modest, the clear-cut and the complex, the marathons and the sprints.

Our long-standing history and enviable track record means that there are very few scenarios that we haven’t come across before.

Not only do we blend the worlds of planning and law, but our clients also have access to our parent group – full-service national law firm, Shakespeare Martineau, which boasts a strong real estate practice.
