Pinsent Masons are market leaders in residential development, offering a full lifecycle legal service—from land acquisition to delivery and exit. We provide strategic, tailored advice on innovative opportunities such as microgrid energy, biodiversity net gain, digital monetisation, partnerships and stewardship models that address local authority concerns while unlocking income opportunities for developers and landowners.

From strategic land contracts to planning, construction, corporate structuring and public private partnering, we deliver a one stop shop on legal services. Our clients include national housebuilders, land promoters, master developers, landowners, PRS/BTR investors, funds, RPs, local authorities, and Homes England. We specialise in complex schemes and large-scale developments, and add value by providing up front strategic advice so that a transaction is structured in the most advantageous and efficient way to deliver value at speed. We focus on supporting clients in the delivery of strategic urban settlements, city centre towers and mixed-use projects and are market leaders in advice, structuring and delivery of New Towns/Garden Communities.

Our 100+ strong planning team advises on all aspects of planning and environmental law—from strategic allocations and EIA to planning agreements, appeals, judicial reviews, and CPOs. We also support interaction with development corporations and stewardship structures. Our team brings unique insight from experience across legal, land, planning, and delivery roles, enabling a commercially focused approach.
