About me
I’m an experienced real estate lawyer who helps national retailers, private equity funds and property developers navigate complex, high-value transactions.
Areas I advise on include strategic acquisitions, residential developments, industrial acquisitions and site set ups, as well as purpose-built student accommodation and landlord and tenant matters.
Clients describe me as pragmatic, commercial and detail-orientated. I act as the safe pair of hands my clients need to gain a sound understanding of the finer points of a transaction and get the deal done, offering the bespoke guidance required to reach a favourable outcome.
Helping young people access career opportunities and nurturing the next generation of legal talent are both important to me. I serve as the Leeds office liaison for our Schools’ Outreach Programme, which involves co-ordinating careers talks, careers fairs and interview practice with local schools.
