Drawing upon a deep knowledge of the law and commercial considerations, as well as working in a highly collaborative fashion with clients, Morgan LaRoche has a strong reputation among South Wales-based investors, developers and SMEs, which are appreciative of the team’s ability to provide ‘practical and cost-effective solutions’ across a myriad of commercial property matters. The team is particularly effective at acting for developers, advising them on the full spectrum of their needs, including site acquisitions, planning concerns and finance. In this context, the firm remains very active in relation to renewable energy projects, an area in which David Palmer and Carmarthen-based Alun Price provide ’excellent and well-considered advice’. The ‘exceptional’ Palmer also provides ’highly commercial’ guidance on retail and office matters, as well as being adept at handling commercial property mandates in the care and logistics sectors. The ‘excellent’ Kevin Thomas heads the team. Sadly Rosemary Morgan recently passed away.
