Michelmores LLP

Real Estate

I am a Partner in the Transactional Real Estate team specialising in residential and commercial development.

I help clients on all aspects of complex development projects and in securing land opportunities. My clients are national and regional developers, housebuilders, land promoters and local authorities with a strategic housing delivery programme. As well as large scale housing schemes, I advise on mixed-used schemes and niche developments with a more unique focus.

I am with clients on their journey from the acquisition of sites through the development phase and to their ultimate disposal. I head up the site set up and new homes teams in the South West and also oversee the team delivering the bulk sales of units to affordable housing providers. Experience on the site set up and sales side has given me a valuable understanding of how legal and technical issues encountered at the acquisition stage may impact on sales.

I always work as part of a team and I am valued by clients for that collaborative approach. I am proud of working in a highly experienced and brilliant development team at Michelmores.

I started my career in London, training and working for one of the so-called magic circle firms, Linklaters. I moved back to my home county and joined Michelmores in 2007.
