Our Transactional Support Service
Just getting to the start on site can be a project in itself with the need for numerous documents to satisfy all of the parties that are interested.
Our construction team can work with you to ensure that the construction documents are prepared, the right people are appointed, financial packages are well structured and every angle of the deal is commercially robust.
Our construction solicitors can tailor the documents to suit the nature of third party interests involved and can work with you as much as is required to ensure that the documents are provided to the right people at the right time.
All too often the commencement of projects is delayed due to the lack of a particular document. We put in the leg work early on to identify the documents that are needed and agree this as necessary with all of the parties with an interest in the project.
We can then take on as much of the responsibility as you need us to in order to get all of these documents in place in due time to secure a sale, leases, funding or drawdowns.
Our construction lawyers have experience of establishing unique document and transaction tracking systems for projects to assist in the process and also to ensure that you have a full picture of the current position.
We work alongside others involved in the process including our property and corporate teams but also project managers, funders, purchasers and tenants and their lawyers as well as technical monitoring teams.
