Bespoke client services & retainers

For the client who needs the practice on hand, not on call.

A retained Lovatt engagement gives a developer, owner or family office continuous chartered advisory across the property programme — cost, contract, compliance, commercial, on the operational interface and in the quieter moments before a project starts. Scope and fee are agreed individually. Disclosure on common ownership applies as always.
