Telecoms

The Electronic Communications Code gives telecom operators significant powers. They may demand access to your land, seek rent reductions, or delay redevelopment plans. This legal framework can be frustrating and complex. We act exclusively for landowners and occupiers across England and Wales. Our role is to protect your property rights, secure fair commercial terms, and safeguard the long term value of your assets. Whether you are a private landowner, occupier, commercial developer or portfolio manager, we deal with these issues every day while staying focused on what matters most to you.

Andrew Pedley was the driving force at Blacks LLP. He really made us feel like we were the only case on his desk. No job was too small, and no question was too little to ask. He made me feel like my thoughts and views were valid and also explained situations where I wasn't understanding the full picture.

My Direct Dealing has been with Marcus Kaye from Blacks solicitors, and I can't express how thorough and on hand he has been. Marcus has always been my point of contact and has left no stone unturned during my time with Blacks. Blacks are renowned for being on many of the bank's panels as go to solicitors I trust them completely.
