CLM Glossary of Terms

Jargon and abbreviations are the infamous bane of most industries. Any new starter to a business will be on red alert for them during their first team meeting, wondering when to ask what the difference is between an Easement and an Engrossment, or what does IDNO and POA stand for. Each industry has its own set of terms and Land Rights is no exception.

CLM act on behalf of companies operating in the utility sector, providing outstanding project management whilst securing Gas & Electricity Land Rights. Our team specialise in the negotiation of easements, wayleaves, transfers and Leases, and liaise with tenants and landowners acquiring the necessary Rights to enable a timely energisation to site.

Seamless communication within our business, as well as with partners and clients is an essential part of delivering a successful service. CLM take communication seriously and our progressive client updates reflect that. Transparency is a fundamental part of our conversation (recognised in one of our 4 core values, ‘Accountability’). We ensure that our clients know exactly what is happening, when it’s happening and why it’s happening. We discuss next steps whilst reflecting the critical timeline so all parties understand what is required and have time to action their relevant processes.

One of our most viewed tools is our CLM Glossary of Terms, which is a terrific, comprehensive reference aid for those needing clarification on legal terms. We incorporate it in to our in-house training and make it available on our website for anyone seeking explanations of terminology. Simplifying Land Rights has always been an objective of CLM’s and this handy document certainly goes a long way in helping to decipher some commonly used industry terms.
