Fiona Smith

I have been with Fladgate LLP since 2018, after joining from a leading international law firm.

I act for a wide range of clients, including investors, funds, developers, lenders and corporate occupiers in the retail, leisure, office and industrial sectors. This variety provides valuable insight into the different perspectives required to provide bespoke advice and service to clients, whatever their needs.

I take pride in providing considered, tailored and commercial advice. I particularly enjoy understanding how any transaction fits within a wider business context, so as to support clients in realising their aims and achieving the best possible outcome regardless of how big or small a transaction is.

I have a specific focus on working with corporate occupiers in respect of their occupational requirements. I enjoy getting to understand the custom-fit nature of each occupier’s premises, space requirements and key drivers to ensure that new and ongoing premises requirements are met and delivered smoothly.

Outside of work, I can usually be found feeding ducks, climbing trees and roaming the parks of south west London with my family.
