What I do
“I qualified as a solicitor in June 2018 specialising in Commercial Property matters. I have worked across Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire before joining Smith Partnership in 2023.
I am now based from our Derby office and my role involves carrying out a variety of commercial property work for a broad range of sectors including charity, retail, offices and industrial.
Having previously done a stint in litigated work before joining Smith Partnership, I understand how small changes in contractual documents can have a positive or detrimental effect. I strive to educate my clients while acting for them and advise them on the wording of contractual documents in detail, so they can consider how best to protect future risks to their business and premises.
Some of the work I am involved in includes:
- Landlord and Tenant transactions e.g. Agreements for Lease, Leases and licences
- Property (including bare land) purchases and disposals
- Fixing third party rights over land (Deeds of Easement)
- Overage Agreements
What I bring to the team
I am inquisitive and enjoy being a good sounding board to colleagues and clients alike.
Key interests
In my spare time:
- I am an ice hockey season ticket holder for the Nottingham Panthers
- I love to go to gigs and festivals
- I like to spend time with my family and friends
Testimonials
A big thank you to both yourself and Lauren for all your help on this. I would definitely have messed it up if I tried doing it myself! I really appreciate the work you have done.
