About me

I’m a Partner in our London Real Estate team and specialise in advising on complex projects and leading multi-disciplinary teams.

My clients include data centre owners and operators, property companies, financial institutions, high net worth individuals and charities. I have transactional experience across a range of sectors including hotels, retail, student accommodation, offices and logistics.

My approach is rooted in keeping a commercial perspective to successfully drive transactions to completion. I provide clear strategic advice that keeps deals moving while effectively managing risk. My focus is always on delivering commercial solutions for my clients and getting the deal done.

Clients appreciate my speed of response, commercial mindset and ability to see every deal from their perspective. My aim is to understand client priorities and pressures, move quickly and add real value beyond the legal detail.

As a Real Estate lawyer, I love that my work is asset-based – there’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing the results of my deals reflected in the London skyline.
