I am an experienced commercial property solicitor who acts for clients within the healthcare sector. I am recognised within the current Legal 500 directory as a ‘key lawyer’ and won the Northern Powerhouse Legal 500 Award 2023 for ‘Rising Star of the Year in the Public Sector’.
I deal with a wide range of transactions for clients from acting for landlords and tenants on leases, to high value disposals and acquisitions. I have acted for a number of healthcare bodies over the years including NHS Property Services Limited and Community Health Partnerships Limited (who hold NHS health estates with a value of in excess of £5 billion).
I also have substantial experience in dealing with portfolio and estate work and complex lease transactions, including NHS Local Improvement Finance Trusts (LIFT). I have provided strategic property advice to national healthcare bodies and assistance in a wide range of other ancillary matters, including documenting one of the largest lease programmes by putting in place over 4500 documented tenancies across the NHS Estate.
I thoroughly enjoy keeping up to date with updates in law affecting the healthcare sector and regularly host seminars. I am proud of the relationships I have with my clients some of whom I have represented for many years.
I sat on the board of directors of York and North Yorkshire Business Development Limited and was previously an examiner for CILEX Law School.
