Rachel Tilley, an experienced Real Estate lawyer with extensive experience within both the commercial and residential property sectors, has joined Michelmores as a Partner in the Transactional Real Estate team.

Rachel’s expertise ranges from the strategic land sector and large schemes for major national housebuilders to smaller bespoke developments with local landowners.

Advising on a breadth of transactions ranging from small residential development sites to major mixed-use strategic schemes, Rachel provides commercial advice and support to landowners, promoters and developers (including private housebuilders and registered providers of social housing) and local authorities. Rachel enjoys working collaboratively with all parties involved in transactions to overcome challenges and successfully deliver and complete projects.

The addition of Rachel to the Firm is in line with its strategic strengthening of its growing Transactional Real Estate team. The team was joined by highly regarded residential development and strategic land lawyer Julie Sharpe early in 2023, and expert commercial and residential property lawyer Cheryl Brady in September last year.

Of the new role, Rachel said:

“My journey as a Real Estate lawyer started with Michelmores back in 2006 and I am delighted to be returning as a Partner to the Transactional Real Estate team and to be provided with an opportunity to assist both colleagues and clients navigate change and to work alongside collaborative, creative and commercial people to deliver much needed future developments.”

Lucy Smallwood, Head of Michelmores’ Residential Development team, adds:

“We are delighted to welcome Rachel back to the team. Her Transactional Real Estate specialisms provide a fantastic opportunity for us as we continue to grow our residential development and strategic land practice. Her promotion reflects our vision for growth, along with our continued investment in exceptional talent and her contribution will be pivotal as we continue to grow.”
