Albert Van Dyke

Apprentice Solicitor

What can I do for you

Albert is a second-year graduate apprentice solicitor with experience in the real estate development sector. He works closely with national housebuilders, supporting urban regeneration projects and helping bring complex sites to market. From drafting disposals documentation to assisting with procurement of utilities, services, and navigating title issues, Albert offers practical, tailored support at every stage of the development process.

With a strong awareness of market pressures and the need to maintain momentum, he focuses on simplifying challenges and enabling progress, supporting housebuilders with clear, informed and practical advice.

Supporting your ambitions

Albert has helped national housebuilders bring ambitious development projects to life. He takes time to understand the priorities of every client—what matters most, and just as importantly, what does not. By aligning his approach with how each client operates, he aims to be easy to work with and aligned with how each client runs their business.

One of Albert’s recent enjoyable highlights involved developing and negotiating an innovative solution to a structuring issue across two related projects. Working collaboratively with three sets of lawyers, he helped the client avoid time-consuming restructuring arrangement, allowing both projects to complete on time.

Whether negotiating documents, navigating site constraints, or suggesting fresh approaches that add value, Albert focuses on the bigger picture with a strong awareness of the sector.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
