What people are saying
In 2013 we embarked on a 56 site 350 home multi-year project involving a very complex tripartite funding agreement, a novel public private partnership agreement, and a novel affordable housing programme. In addition there were all the usual complexities associated with a large scale residential development programme. The mixture of commercial and property expertise required was unique, and we undertook a search for a lawyer who could deliver both at a professional level, and have the character and personality to be a good long term fit with our team. In Jeff Walters we struck gold. His expertise, pragmatism, innovation and character were a critical feature in success of the project which ultimately, against stiff competition, was awarded a Property Council Multi-Residential Award in 2019.
