When a biotechnology company was looking to lease a bespoke space in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, they looked to Real Estate Partner Helen Mutucumarana for guidance.

Helen, who has worked with a number of biotechnology companies with their real estate needs, helped to negotiate a complex agreement for the lease, with ancillary documents and the £1.5m fit-out for the company’s requirements. She also assisted during disputes over water ingress and practical completion during the landlord’s refurbishment works.

Following the case, Helen said: “companies of this nature require individually designed, tailored workspaces in order to carry out their work – I’m very pleased I was able to be part of this process and secure a suitable space for my client.”
