Abbi Melrose, Solicitor, Commercial Property

Real estate law is a highly technical and challenging area that produces work which changes the landscape of our country. The sector is driven by a commercial need – therefore, it is important to understand not only my clients’ commercial needs in a particular transaction, but also those across their entire business. I always take the time to get to know businesses and individuals while immersing myself in the sector.

I’ve worked with a variety of people, from retail business owners to portfolio managers and pension fund managers, including local property developers and individual landlords.

My specialisms include commercial leases, asset management, acquisitions and disposals, and working with landlords and tenants.

Outside work, I am an ex-professional tennis player who still plays competitively. I am also an avid Formula One fan.
