Specialist legal advice on planning, land and development – direct from a senior solicitor.

A senior solicitor, start to finish.

You instruct Angela and you work with Angela. The person advising you is the person who understands your matter.

Specialist, not general.

Planning, land and development law is technical and fast-moving. Angela’s focus means you get depth, not a generalist’s overview.

Commercially minded.

Advice is framed around what you’re trying to achieve — a consented site, a workable lease, a compliant organisation — not just the legal position in the abstract.

Freelance efficiency.

A freelance model means lower overheads and a more flexible, cost-effective engagement than a conventional firm, without any compromise on regulation or standards.

Introduction

Most legal matters involving land and development don’t fail on the law — they stall on the detail. A missed planning condition, an unresolved highways agreement, a licence that can’t be varied in time, a lease that leaves a portfolio exposed.

Angela Simmonds provides clear, commercially grounded legal advice on exactly these issues. As a freelance solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, she works directly with clients on the matters that shape how land is used, developed and managed — from a single planning application to the governance of an entire organisation.

You deal with Angela throughout. No layered teams, no work passed down to junior fee earners, no diluted advice.
