Career

Greg is a Partner in our Commercial Property team.

Greg has extensive experience in all aspects of commercial property practice including landlord and tenant, portfolio management and general commercial conveyancing but has particular expertise in residential and commercial development (acting for landowners, developers and occupiers) and property finance and secured lending (acting for lenders and borrowers).

Recent work highlights include:

  • acting for an international e-commerce company taking leases of almost two million square feet of new build warehouse and distribution space in the Midlands
  • acting for a lender providing £6.25 million funding to a well-known hospitality group in Norfolk
  • acting for the borrower on a £12 million care home development finance facility.

Greg has been recommended in Legal 500 for “working hard to understand the niche areas in which clients work and the complexities they bring in terms of structuring transactions.”

He achieved LLB (hons) and LLM, both from the University of Dundee, and his LPC from College of Law, York, before qualifying as a solicitor in September 2013 with a leading regional firm in Norwich in 2013 and remained there until moving to Ashtons in early 2022.

Greg prides himself on his responsiveness and is passionate about helping clients to find commercial solutions to complex legal problems.

He enjoys helping clients achieve their goals and working as a key part of their team.

Outside of work, Greg is chair of governors at a primary school in Suffolk and enjoys days out and holidays with his wife and son and beach and countryside walks with his dog.
