Expertise
SWS Lawyers can act in property developments from their inception to completion or can be briefed for a particular aspect of the development. Our team is not only skilled at the typical property aspects of a development (such as buying land) but understand and are experienced in planning aspects that affect a development. Our services include but are not limited to:
- property due diligence;
- advice on the purchasing entity (unit trusts, joint ventures, SPVs)
- put and call options;
- planning law due diligence;
- assisting in preparation and submission of a development application, including those applications that require additional justifications (such as heigh exceedances or heritage considerations);
- advice on the conditions of consent;
- advice on physical commencement of a development application;
- structuring a subdivision;
- acquisition or disposal of land (including off-the-plan contracts);
- FIRB approvals; and
- drafting on, varying and extinguishing easements and other restrictions on land.
Their approach is always professional and delivered at a standard comparable to a capital city law firm. It is the clear strategic direction that has always impressed me about the SWS team.
We believe their ability to combine first rate legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions. We use SWS because of their ability, not their post code.
The combination of rare legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions.
