What can I do for you

Kate works for a variety of clients, such as developers, on complex real estate transactions. She helps clients achieve their goals by providing expert analysis and specialist drafting to solve issues in a clear and understandable way.  Kate enjoys being part of the one of the fastest growing real estate teams in the North West.

Supporting your ambitions

Kate recently helped a large supermarket chain on a complex site assembly. The site provides a great opportunity for the client, but there were a number of problems with the title to the property. Kate carried out a detailed analysis of the property and provided practical advice on how to resolve the issues. She worked together with the client and her colleagues at Mills & Reeve to negotiate the required documents and maintain momentum to conclude the transaction. 

What do others say

Kate recently helped a property developer with the acquisition of an exciting development site in Manchester. The transaction was the second phase in a large development scheme and the client was very happy to conclude it on time.

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.
