I love what I do. My role means no two days are the same but ensures I approach each day with the same enthusiasm as the last. I am happiest working as an extension of my clients' teams on new ways of structuring opportunities, ventures or transactions. I'm a development lawyer so I like the challenge constant change brings. I work outcome backwards. But, what does that mean? Knowing the outcome in terms of commercial requirements, timescales, appetite for risk I then try to ensure I find the right legal solution which fits that profile. I very much enjoy working on large strategic sites, seeing these evolve from site assembly through all the multi-faceted layers which make such sites great places to live and work.I was once described by a client as "the Mary Poppins of the property world; diligent, tenacious and technically strong". I have to make a disclaimer: I don't have all of her solutions in my handbag but I promise to come armed with as many as I'm able.My role also enables me to work with an ambitious talented team, who ensure I am kept on my toes, rewarded on a daily basis as I see their own careers progress and their competencies develop, but most importantly, they ensure each day I learn something new.I am a great believer in finding the balance that works for you - for me its about good food and lots of exercise!
