What can I do for you
Christian is a real estate lawyer helping education institutions, companies, government departments and executive agencies in England and Wales with all legal aspects of their estate. This includes leases, licences, joint ventures, mergers, leasebacks, sales, purchases, shared services, collaborations, refurbishments and (re)development projects.
Supporting your ambitions
Christian doesn't just provide practical, solution-focused legal advice to education, government and corporate occupier clients - his strong technical ability and deep sector expertise is, and should be, a given - it's the collaborative approach that stands out.
When required, Christian works with clients' estates, management and senior leadership teams as an approachable sounding board or a second opinion. This is particularly important on significant capital projects involving multiple parties, where the reputational/strategic issues and risks can sometimes be as important to clients as the legal ones.
