We were approached by a UK government-owned entity for ad-hoc support during the acquisition of land for nuclear development, including the development of small modular reactors. This niche property project required expert lawyers to seamlessly plug in to existing departments and advise at key stages of the process. The client knew that ALMA’s network of hand-picked professionals was the ideal solution to avoid making unnecessary hires or overloading staff.
At ALMA, our core mission is to enable law firms and businesses of all kinds to take on any property project without hesitation. With the nature of this acquisition requiring some particularly niche legal knowledge, we selected the lawyers best-suited for the job and integrated them into the client’s existing teams, managing everything from start to finish.
Our lawyers applied their expertise to a wide range of tasks, including reviewing complex titles, dealing with the enquiries process, drafting a development constraints overview report (and a comprehensive due diligence report), plus drafting and negotiating a sale and purchase agreement. This also involved attending meetings to discuss specific issues arising during due diligence, as well as coordination with planning, environment, and tax teams.
With ALMA’s personalised approach, our client was able to complete the acquisition seamlessly, saving money, time, and energy in the process. Our model gave them the flexibility to plug any gaps in knowledge specifically for the duration of the project, eliminating the need to hire long term.
