Shakespeare Martineau and Marrons

Shaping Skylines

At Shakespeare Martineau, we’re proud to support the people and projects that keep Nottinghamshire growing. For us, legal work isn’t a tick‑box exercise,  it’s about helping businesses, developers, and local partners move forward with confidence. Our real estate, construction and planning teams are some of the largest in the firm, and we work on a huge range of schemes across residential and commercial development, regeneration, social housing and the energy sector.

Cutting Through Issues to Keep Projects Moving

Development never runs in a straight line, and that’s where we come in. Whether it’s managing the planning process, mitigating construction risk or resolving issues before they slow a project down, we’re here to keep momentum going. Our teams are used to dealing with tricky challenges  -  from unlocking land to negotiating contracts and smoothing out regulatory hurdles. We approach every project with a practical, problem‑solving mindset.

Planning and Design That Moves Places Forward

Marrons plays a big part in this too. Marrons is a growing national team of planners, architects, economists, masterplanners, heritage, transport and landscape specialists who help to shape projects from the very beginning. Yes, they secure planning permissions - but they also help clients think bigger, creating places people want to live and work, supporting economic growth and turning ambitious ideas into deliverable plans.  Their work spans everything from major regeneration schemes, commercial developments, residential schemes and strategic land acquisition right across the UK.

A Future‑Focused Partnership

What ties us all together is a belief in partnership. Shakespeare Martineau and Marrons work closely with landowners, developers, investors, contractors, corporate occupiers and local authorities, bringing together the right mix of legal, planning and design expertise to unlock opportunities and build strong, sustainable communities.

We’re proud to play our part in shaping the future of Nottinghamshire.
