About

I represent a diverse range of clients, including publicly traded corporations, established companies, entrepreneurs, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, and family offices from around the world. While my focus is primarily on real estate, I have experience across various sectors, enabling me to assist clients in achieving their business and personal objectives through strategic, solution-driven structuring and commercial advice.

I am regularly involved in international matters across multiple sectors, including commercial and residential real estate, offices, leisure, retail, hotels, insolvency, sports, entertainment, venture capital, and technology. I also advise on sports, music, and entertainment contracts, as well as reputation and crisis management for public figures and organisations.

I am a trusted advisor to my clients, valuing my commercial acumen and proactive approach to solving their problems.

I maintain strong international connections and often facilitate important introductions for my clients and contacts.

For the past five years, Spear's has recognised me as one of the Top Recommended Lawyers in their annual Property Advisors Index.

I have a keen social conscience and enjoy providing pro bono advice to charities, not-for-profit organisations, and social enterprises.

Additionally, I am passionate about motor vehicles and travel and take pride in regularly advising and participating in events such as the Gumball Rally and Cash & Rocket Rally.
