TC Young remains very involved in the community ownership and regeneration sector and act for a number of leading organisations currently delivering innovative projects. The team have provided legal advice for a variety of projects including the purchase of a crofting estate, the development of a disused school site, community power regeneration and the installation of a community wind turbine.
The solicitors working in this area recognise that many communities face social and economic issues, which, if not tackled effectively may result in a decline into poverty and social exclusion. A strategy of community regeneration – including community buyouts and all the activities identified in the wider action agenda – will help create successful and sustainable communities.
Legislation now permits communities to take control of their destinies and they are grabbing the opportunity and doing just that to drive community regeneration! This can involve buying land, housing or community assets and making them work for the community and not just for private gain.
We can provide a full range of legal services to regeneration agencies including advice on, setting up organisations; legal structures and governance; charitable status; property acquisition; leasing; funding; compliance and regulation; procurement development; renewable energy projects and community contracts.
Tiree Renewable Energy recommended the firm, saying “TC Young have worked closely with our project since the beginning and we have nothing but praise for their commitment, approachability, response time and practical advice. All staff we have encountered from partner level to support staff have been professional and a pleasure to deal with. There is a strong community / charity ethos in the practice backed up by a pragmatic can do attitude. I cannot think of a better firm to recommend to a Charity or Community group than TC Young and within the firm, its specialist Charities Partner, Mark Ewing”.
If your community would like specific legal advice on your circumstances, get in touch, we'd like to help.
