Why choose me
With a background in planning and large-scale regeneration projects, I specialise in commercial property law because of the variety it offers and the tangible results – seeing new commercial projects be delivered and managed throughout the buildings lifecycle.
I enjoy working across the full life cycle of a transaction, from initial acquisition through to completed development, and advising on a wide range of property types.
My clients value my proactive, pragmatic approach and the focus I place on commercial outcomes. I take time to understand each client’s wider objectives and work collaboratively with their agents and advisers to deliver the best possible result. I focus on keeping matters straightforward and efficient, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
I have a strong knowledge of the local property landscape across the West Midlands and South West, which allows me to anticipate potential issues early and provide commercially focused advice that reflects regional priorities and market conditions.
I act for a diverse range of clients, including landowners, landlords, tenants and local authorities, as well as charities and private companies. My experience includes landlord and tenant matters, acquisitions and disposals of commercial and development land, overage, conditional contracts, options, and easements.
Outside of work, I’m a keen cyclist, runner and triathlete.

Questions my clients ask me
Yes! I’d always recommend that you formalise the arrangement before allowing a third party to occupy your commercial premises otherwise they may acquire certain statutory protections which can restrict your ability to deal with your property in the future.
Overage (or clawback) is an arrangement whereby a seller will share in any increase in the value of the property at a future date. It’s commonly used where the parties anticipate planning permission being granted or the redevelopment of a property which is likely to increase its value – for example on the sale of bare land which may be granted permission for residential or commercial development.
A covenant is a legally binding promise to do, or not to do, something. Restrictive covenants are often used to limit the use of land, prohibit certain activities from being carried out or to restrict the types of development which may take place. If you’re selling a property, it’s important to consider if there are any restrictions which you may wish to impose, particularly if you’re retaining adjoining land which you may need to protect the value and marketability of. Always speak to your selling agent about any restrictions you intend to impose as these may affect the market value of the property if they’re too onerous in nature.
