Charlotte Buckley

Senior Associate

What can I do for you

Charlotte is a lawyer in our Real Estate practice whose main focus is on Real Estate investment and landlord and tenant matters.  Charlotte acts for various higher education and private sector clients.  She manages a number of active property portfolios and acts on site acquisitions and the subsequent re-development and disposal of those sites.

Supporting your ambitions

Charlotte was part of the buy-side team that undertook due diligence and property transaction aspects of the acquisition by Swedish company Pandox of the Jurys Inn Hotel Portfolio for c.£800m and on the subsequent intra-group reorganisation.  This particular deal gained the client significant market presence in the UK and represented a huge step forward in its growth.

Charlotte is also working closely with Cambridge based Howard Group in its acquisition and re-development of Iconix Park and Sawston Trade Park to create a tech and R&D business park which is a significant investment and flagship development for the Group.

What do others say

Charlotte has worked alongside William Jewson, Development Director at HPG Developments Limited, for a number of years who says that he is "always impressed by Charlotte's attention to detail, commercial approach and general cheerfulness, sometimes in the face of considerable pressure from a number of different directions and that her practical approach enables transactions to proceed smoothly."

What else should you know

Charlotte really enjoys getting to know the inside workings of her client's business and has been seconded to both Trinity College, Cambridge and the University of Hertfordshire to assist in-house which has helped to strengthen and cement these client relationships and provided a better understanding of what her clients need going forward.

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.
