Our Services
Joint Venture Deal Structuring
We create the legal and commercial framework of your JV, shaped around land contribution, capital exposure, and project roles. The focus is on execution, not theory. We set roles and financial input clearly. We choose the most effective JV structure (SPV, LLP, or contractual). We identify and record risks early. We build a setup that allows for future funding or asset sales. We align development milestones with profit release points. We assign responsibilities at each stage of delivery. Finally, we ensure everything meets UK regulations.
Landowner Advisory for Joint Ventures
We assist landowners in retaining long-term value without selling outright. Our guidance helps you enter agreements without losing control. We conduct a valuation linked to planning potential. We propose equity share terms based on land contribution. We negotiate Heads of Terms with developers. We review documents with your legal representatives. We help you choose between title options and transfers. We position landowner roles based on planning gain, not just fixed payments. Finally, we ensure you keep a say in exit timelines and outcomes.
Capital & Funding Structuring
We match sites with the right kind of funding to meet development timelines and project requirements without unnecessary loss of control. We introduce private finance and equity partners. We create layered funding models (senior debt, mezzanine, equity). We prepare finance packs and development appraisals. We align funding drawdowns with key build stages. We bring in lenders familiar with JV structures. We structure repayment in line with market activity. We review lender terms to protect all involved parties.
SPV Setup and Governance Framework
Even solid JV terms fail without the right company structure. We assist with forming and managing SPVs to support delivery from start to finish. We set up Limited Companies or LLPs to operate the JV. We draft shareholder or partner agreements with legal validity. We define voting rights and dispute resolution protocols. We clarify director roles throughout development. We handle documentation required by HMRC and Companies House. We ensure the company structure suits your planned exit (sale, refinance, etc.). We offer continued support during changes in ownership or leadership.
Development Partner Introduction
We go beyond introductions. We help you choose delivery partners with real capability and a record of performance. We match partners by site size, complexity, and build requirements. We assess past project outcomes and team credibility. We provide background files on construction history. We shape commercial terms for delivery between landowner and builder. We draft contract points linked to build progress. We clarify obligations and payment structures. We support collaboration between planning-focused and build-focused roles.
Legal & Tax Alignment Support
Joint ventures involve land law, tax exposure, and regulatory standards. We work with your team or bring in our own professionals to keep things compliant and practical. We coordinate legal contracts to meet UK standards. We advise on VAT, SDLT, and corporation tax matters. We highlight risks in land transfers to SPVs. We perform checks on title and planning obligations. We match profit-sharing with tax efficiency. We help set partner compensation outside of direct profit shares. We manage information privacy and access between parties.
Exit Planning and Deal Completion Guidance
JVs should end cleanly without arguments, withheld profits, or unclear outcomes. We put in the groundwork early so exits happen smoothly. We set the preferred disposal method (sale, refinance, asset retention). We define valuation points during construction. We build exit clauses into agreements from day one. We guide expectations around building contingencies. We assess off-plan sale or rental models ahead of completion. We align final steps with investor and lender requirements. We assist with fund distribution and SPV closure.
Planning-Linked JV Advisory
Planning permission often determines the value and risk in a JV. We make sure your agreement reflects this reality fairly. We set rules for sharing value increase from planning approvals. We add conditions tied to planning outcomes. We coordinate with consultants to ensure viable approval terms. We handle obligations under s106, CIL, and related policies. We prepare partners for different planning results. We include fallback plans for delays or rejections. Finally, we add fair pause-or-proceed options depending on outcome.
