The Work We Do…

PLANNING LAW & REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE

Extensive knowledge of the suite of laws pertaining to land, property and development in the Cayman Islands including Development & Planning Law, Roads Law, Strata Titles Registration Law and the Lands Law informs a wide range of advice given with specific regard to compliance and to maximising development potential within the parameters of these laws and their attendant regulations.

CONSTRUCTION PERMITTING & CODE COMPLIANCE

Development & Planning Law Building Code Regulations provides the regulatory framework in which construction and commissioning of construction and infrastructure projects are permitted and licensed. Based on the 2009 edition of the International Building Code as published by the International Code Council, these Regulations require astute interpretation and compliance management, especially in the preparation and submission of appropriate documentation as well as coordination of field and site inspections, compliance monitoring and support services in the application for and granting of Certificates of Occupation.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAW & LEED® INITIATIVE COMPLIANCE

Recent promulgation of the National Conservation Law informs the integration of substantial overlay legislation involving assessment of environmental impacts arising from development and infrastructural projects and directly affecting the permitting and granting of planning consents and other usage licences. Knowledge of these interrelated laws and regulations informs specific advice given with regard to the coordination of liaison with the various agencies and statutory bodies involved with the environmental impact assessment process and the effects on related consent and licence applications, as well as coordination and scheduling advice.

PROJECT RISK IDENTIFICATION & MITIGATION STRATEGIES

Property and infra-structural projects in the Cayman Islands invariably need appropriate procurement strategies and delivery of these projects from inception to commissioning is invariable fraught with risk. Informed and astute advice is provided on appropriate planning consent and permit procurement, specifications development, procurement method selection, solicitation documentation preparation, proposals calling, firms and individuals evaluation, contract negotiation and contract administration performance risk mitigation strategies (including environmental risk).
