Charlie Gauntlett

Overview

I am a Senior Associate in Michelmores’ Transactional Real Estate (Commercial Property) team, based predominantly in the Bristol office. I advise a wide range of national commercial clients, such as businesses, property developers and individuals, on their property needs. This work includes asset management, freehold and leasehold sales and acquisitions of commercial property and landed estates, granting and taking commercial leases, commercial development, and secured lending.

I work across a number of industry sectors, including retail, leisure, offices/warehouses, energy and forestry, which gives me a broad range of experience and expertise.

I qualified as a Solicitor with a national law firm in 2018 and joined Michelmores in June 2021. I really enjoy working for the Firm – it is friendly, ambitious and forward-thinking.

In my spare time, I make the most of the great outdoors – whether playing sport or walking my black Labrador puppy. I also enjoy eating out at some of the excellent restaurants which the west country has to offer.
