Profile

I advise a broad range of clients, focussing on complex, large-scale transactions, including the acquisition, development, sale, and leasing of a range of asset classes. I also advise on the property aspects of major infrastructure projects. I am passionate about urban renewal, and work closely with government and the private sector to deliver sustainable communities with strong social interfaces (particularly Social Housing and build to rent developments).
