I am a Partner within our Commercial Property team based in Glasgow.

I act for a wide range of clients and help businesses and individuals to buy, sell, lease and develop all types of land and buildings throughout Scotland as well as in England and Wales.

I handle commercial leasing transactions, acting for both landlords and tenants, and assist my landlord and tenant clients in the management of their lease interests. I have detailed knowledge of the hospitality and licensed trade sector, and often act for investment Landlords of well-established Glasgow pubs. A number of my current clients are also developers, which is helpful since I have particular expertise in the conveyancing aspects of site assembly/ development issues.

I really enjoy acting for family businesses, and they make up a large proportion of my client base. Their portfolios are often very diverse, and my experience means that I have a well-rounded perspective on the most practical and commercial way forwards in their various transactions.

I regularly deliver training at WJM events to a range of audiences including clients, agents and other solicitors.

My team is ever growing and currently consists of:
