I am a Chartered Legal Executive in the Commercial Property Team. I specialise in general acquisitions and disposals as well as landlord and tenant matters. This can involve carrying out full due diligence property investigations and searches, where required, and reporting to clients on these as well as acting for lenders, either separately or on a dual instruction basis, to secure client lending.
Landlord and tenant matters include drafting of leases and negotiating and reporting on these as well as a variety of property management matters including licences to sublet and approval of underleases, licences to assign and deeds of variation.
I am able to offer advice to both individuals and companies in assisting with their property needs, including acting for pension companies and dealing with the particular requirements this involves.
I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.
