"NSEL bring a very strategic and commercial approach to the acquisition and designation of land for new schools. They provide strong leadership, and their advice is well researched and communicated. A particular strength is that NSEL remain focused on the client's desired outcomes when matters proceed to local authority hearings or the Environment Court. The fact that they value relationships and are an incredibly friendly team is simply icing on the cake."
