Julie Sharpe is an exceptional professional, extremely diligent and is one of the best solicitors I have ever worked with. We have worked together on complex transactions with tight timescales and Julie was always two steps ahead of the other side in the negotiations. No stone was left unturned.

Overview

I am a real estate lawyer with a particular focus on complex residential development and the strategic land sector. I work for both private landowners and developers and regularly deal with promotions, collaboration agreements, pre-emptions, phased development management agreements, title issues, options, overage and other complex land agreements.

My experience covers advising on Natural Capital arrangements as part of both the development of schemes and in generating value from land holdings. My clients include landed estates, farming families and other family businesses, charities and institutional landowners.

I am also experienced in every aspect of investment portfolio work including day to day property management for both corporate and private clients. My breadth of real estate experience enables me to help clients prepare and realise maximum value from land and property. I joined Michelmores as a partner in December 2022 having previously been at Charles Russell Speechlys since 2013.

Recommended in Legal 500 for expertise in advising landowners on strategic development sites and  ranked as a ‘Up and coming’ in Chambers.
