What I do...
I joined Richard Pearlman LLP in March 2019, having completed the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law in London. I qualified as a solicitor in March 2021 and was made a partner of the firm in August 2026.
Before joining the firm, I studied Politics at the University of Exeter, graduating in 2015, and subsequently spent two years working for a leading management consultancy.
More specifically...
I act for a broad range of property companies, investors and private individuals on matters including:
Complex landlord and tenant transactions;
Fast-paced property finance matters;
Multi-let commercial investment properties; and
High-value commercial and residential acquisitions and disposals.
My approach is diligent, organised and commercial, with an emphasis on driving transactions forward efficiently whilst ensuring my clients’ interests are properly protected. I take a close interest in developments in property law and regulation and, in particular, their practical impact on the UK property market.
Outside the office...
I’m a keen sports fan, particularly football (as a long-suffering Spurs supporter) and American football. I also enjoy weight training and playing golf when I can, as well as travelling, visiting new places and spending time with friends and my wife, Emma.
