Lucy Foley, partner and commercial property specialist in Brentwood

How can I help you?

I qualified as a solicitor in 1994, and started my legal career in London, joining Wortley Byers in 1997.  I became a partner in the Wortley Byers’ corporate commercial department in 1999 and led the team between 2009 and 2012. In January 2014, I was appointed Managing Partner of Wortley Byers, leading the firm’s merger into Tees Law. Currently, I head the corporate commercial department at Tees Law and our logistics sector offering.

I specialise in a range of corporate and commercial matters across a number of industry sectors, including:

Lucy Folley and Baljeet Kaur are both very good and will also work very effectively together, covering for each other when needed. I very much appreciate their commercial attitude to issues that have arisen in transactions.

Lucy Folley was a critical part of getting the deal done. Lucy's understanding of our business was essential in getting the deal across the line. Without her efforts, I believe that it would not have gone through. I cannot recommend her enough!

Legal 500 UK 2023

'Lucy Folley has been my main contact. One of Lucy’s biggest strengths is her pragmatism. In a number of deals Lucy has been involved in, the counterparty in our negotiations has commented on how fair her approach is. This has made it much easier for us to close positions'
