What can I do for you

Deborah specialises in development projects and commercial contracts, with a particular interest in development financing. Her work spans real estate development and collaboration projects, public/private sector partnering agreements (including PPP and PFI) and large-scale equipment and/or service outsourcing contracts. Deborah advises both public and private sector clients in a variety of sectors including defence, health and student accommodation.

What do others say

Clients have commended Deborah for being “technically absolutely spot on while at the same time usefully pragmatic.”

Supporting your ambitions

Deborah recently worked with student accommodation provider Uliving to achieve completion of its student accommodation project at the University of Gloucestershire. The project was the first of its kind to raise senior debt through a wrapped publicly listed bond which was guaranteed by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority. This project followed Deborah’s previous work on Uliving’s accommodation schemes at the University of Essex and the University of Hertfordshire.

What else should you know?

Outside of work, Deborah enjoys yoga and running (including chasing after her young family!).

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.”
