As a real estate lawyer and head of affordable housing investment at international law firm, Gowling WLG, I have many years’ experience of a wide variety of major property projects, acting for private sector landowners, commercial developers and investors, house builders, registered providers and public sector bodies. Over the last few years I have specialised in acting for investors into the social and affordable housing market, using both corporate and asset structuring models, forward funding and forward purchasing and for registered providers on complex development projects, including deal structuring and development agreements. I have been working with major players in the supported living investment market since its earliest days and was heavily involved in the initial structuring of the product – including devising lease terms which avoid difficulties over enfranchisement, and the terms of voids agreements, voids insurance and nominations agreements.I am passionate about social and affordable housing. I like to see myself very much as part of the client team and am proud of the strong relationships built with clients over the years. I believe they value, not only my in-depth knowledge and experience of the sector, but also my collaborative and responsive approach and my drive to find solutions and get the deal done.Expertise: real estate law; real estate development; real estate investment; social housing; affordable housing; supported living; specialised supported housing; homelessness; children's services; asylum seeker accommodation; bulk acquisitions; bulk disposals; legal project managementAbout Gowling WLG:Gowling WLG is an international law firm built on the belief that the best way to serve you is to be in tune with your world, aligned with your opportunity and ambitious for your success.Focused on key global sectors, including energy, financial services, life sciences, natural resources, infrastructure, real estate and tech.Around the world, our 1,500+ legal professionals and dedicated business support teams apply our deep sector knowledge to understand your business and help you succeed.For more information visit gowlingwlg.comOr follow us on:LinkedIn: @Gowling WLGTwitter: @GowlingWLG_UK
