We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:

CMS counts SSE and the Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Trust among a diverse list of clients that the Sheffield-based team advises on nationally significant infrastructure and energy projects, as well as large-scale residential, logistics and healthcare developments. The team is equally well versed in contentious and non-contentious matters and handles a large volume of planning applications and appeals, while also advising landowners and local councils on planning objections. The team, which is led by the ‘nationally well-known’ CPO specialist Chris Bowes, is strengthened by the expertise of experienced residential development and infrastructure expert Rebecca Roffe. David Hardy, who is renowned for his planning advice on renewable energy projects, is also highly recommended.
