Why choose me

It’s the variety of work and the interaction with clients that I love most about practicing property law.

My specialism is the education sector, where I lead on our work with academies and multi-academy trusts (MATs). This involves advising on conversions, transfers and day-to-day matters. I also advise independent schools on a range of issues, including the property aspects of mergers and acquisitions, sales and operational needs, and commonly work with further and higher education institutions, charities and sports clubs.

Other work commonly involves working with a range of businesses and individuals as well as property investors and lenders. On your behalf, I draft legal documents and advise on transactions like purchases, sales, leases and licences, and variations or deeds of easement and covenant.

I’m very commercially focused, so I’ll protect your best interests while minimising your fees, and if something needs further consideration, I’ll tell you straight away. I believe it’s best to identify timescales at the start of the process, and I always go the extra mile to meet a deadline. My reports are clear and easy to understand, and I’m always available if you want to chat through something. Above all, I’m driven by the satisfaction I get from achieving results for my clients.

Away from work, I love to play and watch sport like football and rugby as well as sailing and athletics. I was lucky enough to grow up on the Jurassic Coast, and firmly believe you can’t beat a good coastal walk and a pub lunch!

Questions my clients ask me

We’re not agents so we can’t advise if the terms represent a good deal in the current market, but we can help on legal points.

A number of factors can affect how long a transaction can take. We’ll give you an indication at the start, based on our experiences, and keep you updated as it progresses.

The Legal 500 2025 Education

Thank you so much for all of your support with our transaction. Our Chair of the Building Committee and myself are so grateful for both your professionalism and for the personal commitments that you both made to support the School.

The matter required a quick resolution to ensure that the school was able to secure the facility promptly, as otherwise there was a risk they would lose their existing use of the site altogether. However thanks to the work of Morgan and James, as well as assistance from the wider team of Paul Watkins, Steve Thomas and Oliver Daniels the school was able to secure the site and the assets of the outgoing operator in a timely manner.
