You can instruct our specialist Planning Barristers directly which can result in significant savings on legal fees when compared to the traditional route of going through a planning solicitor.

Our experienced Planning Barristers are experts in all aspects of Town and Country planning laws and regulations. They have specialist knowledge of the local planning authorities, committees, inspectorates, tribunals and courts that they appear before.

At Mercantile Barristers, some of our planning barristers are also surveyors with substantial first-hand knowledge and practical experience of the full spectrum of planning issues and disputes before becoming specialist planning barristers. As such, they are regularly instructed by planning solicitors, professionals, corporates, institutions as well as individual clients requiring strategic solutions to their planning problems.

Our planning practice is headed by Mr. Samuel Okoronkwo, a barrister with over 30 years of commercial, professional and legal practice experience. He is quite accustomed to dealing with all aspects of complex land assembly, design development, development appraisals, planning consents, appeals and enforcements, project financing, development procurement and management, asset disposals and retention within a portfolio.
