About

I have been practising in our commercial property team for more than 30 years.

I advise on a broad range of commercial real estate transactions and issues, extending from substantial investments and high value asset funding to the property portfolio requirements of enduring high street brands.

Although I advise across the breadth of the commercial property landscape, real estate investment features prominently in my practice where I advise both onshore and offshore investors on the acquisition, funding, management and disposal of their real estate assets. I also have extensive experience of advising borrowers on high value property acquisition financing and refinancing.

I assist leading hospitality and retail brands with their occupational requirements including acquisitions and portfolio management.
