I’m a Senior Associate in our Planning and Development department based in the West End and specialise in advising owners and occupiers in respect of compulsory purchase and compensation matters. My focus is on properties in the manufacturing and distribution sector, retail and offices.
I specialise in advising owners and occupiers in respect of compulsory purchase and compensation matters. The types of properties include those within the manufacturing, distribution, retail, office and education sectors. Compensation advice has included negotiations of detailed disturbance claims and claims for the extinguishment of businesses.
I advise clients in the office and retail sectors and, in addition, the education, healthcare and local authority sectors including universities, schools and hospitals in respect of rating, fire insurance and accounting purposes.
