Sarah Coates

Partner, Commercial Property

How can I help you?

I have practised as a commercial property solicitor in Cambridge since moving here on qualification in 2007. I previously headed up the commercial property team of an international law firm in Cambridge, before joining Tees in September 2023 in a similar role. My years of experience advising clients in the Cambridge area means that I have a deep understanding of the interplay of issues affecting property transactions in this location.   

I act for a wide range of clients, including large corporations, owner-managed businesses and start-ups, Cambridge Colleges and other educational establishments, developers, and lending institutions, on both investment and development financing.  

I am pragmatic and personable in my approach.

I am recognised by the Legal 500 as a “Leading Individual” for commercial property in Cambridge.

What else should you know?

I am a keen rower and runner and often row on or run by the River Cam early in the morning.  I also have a passion for all things community and have over 10 years of experience acting as a trustee of a Cambridge-based homeless charity.
