Commercial property

Carey Olsen

Carey Olsen brings a ‘can-do attitude’ to its commercial property transactions, advising clients entering the Guernsey market for the first time, alongside long-term corporate tenants on new leases, and the renegotiation of existing agreements. Practice head Jason Morgan operates a mixed commercial and residential practice, with Davey Le Marquand advising on transactions for office and industrial space. John Le Tissier assists clients with construction and leasing matters in addition to overseeing secured finance transactions, with Rachel Jones taking the lead on planning matters and Kieran Ogilvie handling the property aspects of M&A, and acting for both landlords and tenants on commercial leases.
