We’re proud to share that in Quarter 1, our Commercial Property team were instructed on property transactions worth approximately £186 million. A fantastic achievement that reflects the strength and expertise of our team and the trust our clients place in us.

Our team continues to go from strength to strength, and we’re now an 18-strong group of talented, dedicated professionals. We’re delighted to welcome several new starters:

  • Jonathan Chung joins as Partner in our Manchester office. With over 15 years’ experience in commercial property, Jonathan offers a friendly, pragmatic approach to transactions. His expertise spans landlord and tenant matters, acquisitions and disposals, real estate finance, and corporate support.
  • Danielle Leaming joins our Lancashire team as Senior Associate. Danielle brings over 10 years’ experience, specialising in asset management and landlord/tenant matters. She works with a range of clients from pension funds and charities to start-ups and SMEs, guiding them through leases, renewals, and agreements for consent.
  • We also welcome Kate Gillies as Solicitor in Manchester and congratulate Louise Fielding on qualifying into the team.

We’re excited for the year ahead and look forward to building on our successes as our team continues to grow.
