Experience

I have over 35 years’ experience acting for commercial, charity and private clients on all aspects of transactions concerning commercial property.

For example, I am involved in the acquisitions and disposals of freehold and leasehold property – including overage arrangements – development work, and charging and finance. I advise on landlord and tenant work, such as granting and taking new leases, licenses and dilapidations, and also on corporate property transactions: amalgamations, mergers, asset sales and purchases. I have a particular expertise in telecoms.

  • I have acted for clients taking premises in the Shard and the Gherkin
  • I advised on the purchasing of new substantial property in Leeds and advising on the fit out of that property for a medical insurer
  • I advised a banking charity on new headquarter premises in Central London.
  • I acted for a French state-owned gas company on new headquarter premises in London
  • I have acted for three sports clubs in the London area, formalising letting arrangements with the landlord and settling funding documentation
  • I acted for a residential care provider on its portfolio of properties
  • I have advised on the sale of a number of Grade I and II listed properties for a major charity
  • I acted for a liquidator on a portfolio sale of 17 investment properties (including some in Scotland and Northern Ireland)
  • I act for several clients with a nationwide presence and the taking of leases for their businesses and managing the property portfolios
