I am a Commercial Property solicitor with over 15 years’ experience in this area. Working closely with my clients and never losing sight of their commercial objectives and transaction timetable, my main specialisms are the acquisition, management and disposal of large investment properties.
I have facilitated projects across the UK, including London, the Thames Valley and Manchester, as well as local clients in Gloucestershire.
There is no “typical” transaction that I advise on, but it can often include lettings to international brands and global PLCs with disposals and acquisitions ranging from £1m to £22m as well as refinance exercises of the same value.
I have a down to earth, pragmatic approach and see myself as a crucial member of any client’s team, ensuring their aims are met and helping to facilitate each deal.
Doug was ranked as a Leading Partner in the 2024 Legal 500 rankings.
"Following some recent transaction success, I just wanted to thank BPE, and especially Doug for his performance on the Bristol exchange, as well as the Agreement to Lease at Watford – both transacted late on the Friday night and with many of the usual twists and turn to get them over the line. We are not the easiest of clients, and Doug and team were brilliant"
