Compulsory Purchase Orders

Over the last few decades we have advised in cases of national importance in the High Court and Court of Appeal and have been instrumental in cases that have altered the law surrounding Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs). We like to think our breadth of experience in Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs) is exceptional. Would you like this expertise on your side in Defending a CPO?

How We Can Help You With
Compulsory Purchase Orders

We continue to support landowners served with notices. We represent clients in the Lands Tribunal upon the level of compensation, and in the courts when our client wishes to quash a CPO and remain in their property.

Why Choose Us?

Having been involved in the leading cases over such a long period, we feel confident in being able to advise even in the most complex case. In some people’s opinion, we are seen as the last haven for those cases that have been considered a lost cause by everyone else.

Seeking to quash Compulsory Purchase Orders requires not only considerable knowledge and skill, but also perseverance and attention to detail. We would be pleased to advise any landowners affected by a CPO.
