Our Service

I offer clients a solution focused, commercial approach often acting on complicated transactions with competing stakeholders (such as large scale development transactions involving local authorities on master plan developments, joint venture partners and/or development managers).

The clients for whom I act include leading real estate funds and asset managers including Capreon and Ares Management and real estate developers, advising on transactions covering a variety of asset classes such as office, retail, leisure and industrial and large residential development schemes.

As investors increasingly look for greater returns in a competitive market I work hand in hand with clients to manage and deliver transactions often involving bespoke and novel arrangements aligned to their funding and exit strategy.

In addition to advising real estate investors and developers I also act for household names advising on their occupational requirements, with a particular expertise in relation to HQ relocations and the inherently personal nature of such transactions.
