  • The grant of academy leases.
  • Manage and supervise a team of lawyers undertaking high volume residential and commercial property work, including right to buy and enfranchisements, CPOs, leases, deeds of variation and licences.
  • Take part in the delivery of training and development of the property team.
  • Assist lawyers in the wider Regeneration group on the property aspects of development projects.
