About

I specialise in real estate development and finance, investment work and corporate occupiers.

I am here to help clients find solutions to their problems and to deliver their transactions. My approach is to look for pragmatic answers and to implement them with as little complication as possible.

Clients need a calm and reassuring helping hand as they engage in deals which can be very stressful for them. I collaborate with lawyers across the firm to provide this and deliver inventive and practical solutions.

Away from work I love all forms of exercise, I am a keen bridge player and am an avid supporter of Leeds United.
