Due to its expertise in property, planning and all areas of public law, Landmark is a leading set for litigation and advice across the range of public sector and local government property issues.
Property issues arising in the public sector often require a thorough understanding of both property law and the relevant public law context. From the acquisition of land for schools or hospitals, the interpretation of obligations of public bodies who are landowners, or the consequences of failure to comply with statutory provisions, the intersection of property and public property law means that litigation in this field brings unique challenges. Landmark’s barristers have considerable experience advising and acting for and against local authorities, government departments, NHS and other public bodies in these types of cases.
