Why choose Lows for utilities work?
- Local expertise: Our firm's deep ties to the Orkney community mean we have a thorough understanding of the business environment, regulations, and local market dynamics. We offer insights that reflect the demands and opportunities for your land and business.
- Comprehensive solutions: We commonly see utility providers seeking wayleaves, deeds of servitude, option agreements, leases and licences for landowners. Our experienced legal team is well-versed in revising a wide array of contracts to mitigate the impact on your land and business.
- Customised approach: The documents produced by utility providers are often weighted in their favour, giving all the rights they need but without any of the important landowner protections to minimise interruption to you and your business. We take the time to review and revise the contracts to cater for your exact requirements.
- Risk mitigation: Our thorough contract drafting and review process is aimed at minimising risks and potential disputes.
- Clear communication: We believe in transparency and clarity, and we make it a point to explain legal terms and concepts in a manner that you can easily understand.
- Responsive service: In the fast-paced world of business, time is of the essence. Our team is known for its prompt and responsive service.
- Long-term partnerships: Our commitment doesn't end once the ink is dry. We foster long-term partnerships with our clients, offering ongoing support, contract updates, and revisions as circumstances change.
