I am a solicitor in the Commercial Property Team, primarily based in Salisbury.
I act for businesses, pension schemes and individual clients on a variety of property transactions including acquisitions, disposals, the granting or taking of leases and other general landlord and tenant matters. I have a particular interest in pension property work, applying the experience I gained during my two years working in the property team of a leading pension administration company.
“Very efficient and a pleasure to deal with.”
Areas of Expertise
Case Study
I acted for a pension scheme client in the purchase of premises to be redeveloped as the new offices for the underlying investor’s expanding business. The redevelopment comprised of a combination of both landlord and tenant works. I prepared the necessary documentation to ensure that the works could proceed simultaneously and that the arrangement was HMRC compliant for pension scheme purposes.
I acted for a client in the purchase of a mixed-use investment property in a prominent location in Bath city centre. The project required extensive due diligence of both the commercial ground floor units and the residential flats above.
I advised a start-up company on the taking of their first commercial lease. I reported to them in detail both in writing and on the telephone on various aspects of the lease to ensure that the premises would meet their specific requirements and to allow them to advise their lender on the company’s expected costs and liabilities over the term of the lease.

Away from the office
I am a keen sportsman, playing lacrosse for Reading in the Southern Premiership, weekly 5 a-side football and road cycling.
A horse racing fan, I can be found at various race days throughout the year including the Cheltenham Festival, the King George and the Eclipse.
Sport aside, I enjoy gardening (particularly growing different varieties of chilli pepper) and trying to improve my cooking skills.
