As a leading member of the firm's leasing practice, I oversee leasing assets for a number of prominent clients across various asset classes. I deliver a whole of lifecycle service offering for my clients commencing with initial dedicated onboarding service setting my clients up for ongoing success in the day to day leasing operations. My substantial redevelopment and asset disposal experience is appreciated by my clients and leads to excellent valuation returns.

My commercial and pragmatic approach to leasing transactions facilitates a partnership between landlords and tenants that leads to optimal outcomes for clients. I am well known in the leasing space for best practice methods, drive for process improvement and for implementing tailored plain-English national leases.
