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.
