My career as a commercial property lawyer
High-quality work right on my doorstep: As part of our new series of ‘talk to Tees’ we will be talking
I am an experienced commercial property solicitor with over 20 years’ experience dealing with property transactions for my clients. Previously a Partner in a small, central London law firm, I joined Tees in October 2018 and now manage the real estate team in the Bishop’s Stortford office. I have a broad knowledge of all types of property transactions, including development acquisitions and sales; option, promotion and overage agreements; re-financing; multi-use buildings; leases; leasehold enfranchisement; rights of first refusal; and general land and building sales and purchases. I specialise in complex property transactions and strategic land sales, offering practical, tactical advice to my clients in a professional yet friendly manner.
I act for a wide range of clients, including national and international companies, large landowners, property developers, landlords, tenants and experienced property investors.
Delivering what you really need
I am very personable and proactive in my approach to transactions. I want to understand my clients’ priorities so that I can help them achieve their goals and tailor my advice to their individual needs. I am straight-talking and practical, with excellent communication skills.
