Specialist CPO/DCO Legal Support for Town Councils & Action Groups

Specialist CPO/DCO solicitors supporting local councils and action groups with expert legal guidance throughout compulsory purchase matters.

Owing to their size and/or significance any given CPO or DCO is likely to involve numerous parties and professional advisers – which is as true for the acquiring authority but also affected parties, owners and occupiers.

The specialist team here at Holmes & Hills will support you, your clients or associates with bespoke advice and delivered in accordance with the firm’s service pledge.

How we work with town/parish councils and action groups

Local councils and action groups typically have an important role to play in any CPO or DCO scheme.

This can be as making representations on behalf of their constituents or a group of residents but also signposting them where to seek advice or support in respect of any legal issues they may be facing in light a given scheme.

Our specialist team can help in either scenario; if that is of interest please do contact the Team using the form below.

We are also willing to act, and have acted, under a “CrowdFunding” page or similar. If this is of interest please contact Michael Harman for further information.
