Legal Consultancy

My primary focus is on all aspects of commercial property for a broad range of industries, from Heads of Terms through to completion and payment of SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax) but I also undertake residential conveyancing, as well as some general corporate, banking and commercial law.

Whatever the transaction, I generally work to fixed fees, I use clear English, I do what I say I am going to do (I am good for my word), quick, diligent and I will keep you updated every step of the way. I provide a City of London service at very competitive non-London rates.
