Irwin Mitchell’s team routinely advises landowners on sales to major housebuilders and conditional contracts for motorway service areas, often involving complex collaboration arrangements. The team also handles large-scale promotions, advising on tax and infrastructure issues. The practice is led by Guy Sackett, who is known for his expertise in mixed-use developments, and later living and student accommodation schemes. Hannah Nix is a key contact for strategic land project work.
