Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a solicitor based at the Firm’s dedicated commercial and agricultural office on Gadbrook Park, Northwich. As a commercial property solicitor I have experience in a broad range of transactions including real estate acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant matters, property management and corporate transactions for a range of clients across a variety of sectors including retail (both high street and shopping centres) office, leisure, industrial and agricultural. I am originally from N. Ireland coming across the water to study law at Hull University and then undertaking my training at Kuits in Manchester. After qualifying as a solicitor I worked at a smaller practice doing both commercial property and commercial work. I later specialized solely in commercial property work when I moved to Eversheds Sutherland in Manchester working for many corporate clients. I became an Associate and had an enjoyable for 5 years at Eversheds Sutherland before having a career break to have a family, rejoining the legal profession in 2016 and joining Butcher & Barlow in 2021. My work typically includes :- Sales and acquisitions of freehold and leasehold land; Landlord and Tenant matters; Property investment transactions; Conditional contracts, option agreements and rights of pre-emption; and Farm Business Tenancies and other agricultural work. Some of my more memorable transactions which demonstrate the breadth of my work are:- Securing an international client’s first leasehold office premises in the UK. Dealing with the mining leases and other property issues on the sale of a large mining operation in the North East of England . Winning a contract race on a very tight timetable for a developer client on a £1.3 million acquisition. Managing a team dealing with all aspects of a corporate client’s national property portfolio and working closely with their surveyors. I am a commercially aware, versatile and reliable solicitor with a practicable approach to problem solving with many years of legal experience.
