Overview

Overview

As Head of our Jersey Property practice, I advise clients across a variety of areas including commercial acquisitions and leases, development schemes, planning issues, mergers and acquisitions and property finance.

I have practiced exclusively in Jersey property law and related areas for over two decades and presently focus on commercial property in Jersey, particularly in the arena of high value and complex transactions.

I am a qualified Notary Public and am also able to advise and assist clients in Jersey wills and probate matters.
