Tim Allsop

Tim specialises in commercial real estate work and his particular expertise is in major development projects, joint ventures and real estate finance. The majority of his clients are from the education and local authority sectors although he also has extensive experience of representing private sector developers and landowners. 

Playing a key role in making clients’ plans a reality is one of the most important parts of Tim’s job. Helping to achieve a meeting of minds and fostering a lasting relationship between the parties to a transaction is often the most challenging and rewarding parts of the work which Tim and his team do. They are fortunate to be able to call upon a wide body of experience and market leading expertise across the team. This gives an in depth understanding of the clients’ needs and a real grasp of what matters most to them.

Chambers UK: “skilfully pursuing and protecting [the client's] interests in negotiations” 

"The star of the show is definitely Tim: his drafting of the complex legal documentation, conduct of the negotiations with the other side and absolute grasp of what matters to us the client were just outstanding" 

Legal 500: "excellent – detailed, commercial and very responsive on more complicated matters"

Tim is a trustee and director of Pancreatic Cancer UK/PCUK and is also a member of charity's Risk and Finance Committee. Tim's involvement enables him to put his skills to good use outside of work for a cause which, for personal reasons, he feels very strongly about.
