    We can act on your behalf in connection with necessary wayleave hearings where you intend to resist the grant of a new statutory wayleave.

    We have an extremely strong track record in dealing with referrals to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) to recover compensation where legal fees are usually recoverable from the power company and we have established relationships with specialist surveyors, leading barristers and mediators throughout the UK.
