Our Service

I am an associate in the commercial real estate team, primarily involved in acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant matters, and asset management.

I joined Fladgate’s real estate team in February 2025, having qualified as a real estate lawyer in September 2024. Since qualifying, I have acted on a variety of commercial real estate matters, including acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant matters, real estate finance, and the management of property assets across the industrial and logistics, retail, and office sectors.

Outside of work, I enjoy supporting the best team in London (Arsenal FC), travelling, food, cooking and spending time with family and friends.
