Francesco specialises in all areas of regeneration and development work for Registered Providers of Social Housing and National house-builders. Francesco also has considerable experience in major regeneration and complex development schemes involving joint ventures between public and private bodies. He also acts for independent management companies and commercial organisations acquiring ground rent and property portfolios.

Francesco works closely with both social housing and private developer lawyers as both sectors face similar legal issues and a cross fertilisation of ideas between the two sets of advisers can benefit both areas of practice.
