Solicitor – Admitted 2021
We work closely with Jess Hopkins and Christian Goddard in the property team, who are very helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient. They understand our portfolio well and the quirks we like to see in our leases, having been letting property for circa 50 years. They are receptive to our input/comments, but at the same time will reign us in if we are exposing ourselves to unnecessary risk or running up fees challenging something of little importance.
Overview
I’m an Associate in the Transactional Real Estate team.
I have a diverse range of experience including general landlord and tenant matters, assisting in the sale and purchase of commercial property, asset management, and advising on the property aspects of corporate acquisitions.
I have a particular interest in sustainability-related property issues, advising on biodiversity net gain and energy infrastructure projects. In 2025, I spent part of the year on secondment with a leading off-site biodiversity net gain habitat provider, gaining valuable insight into the practical delivery of BNG solutions.
I joined Michelmores in September 2019 as a Trainee and qualified into the Real Estate team in 2021.
