Jonathan's expertise

 Real Estate

I act for a variety of private investors in connection with their UK property asset requirements.

I advise various occupiers on freehold and leasehold acquisitions and related management issues.  I have focused particularly on the restaurant industry and I advise some of the most famous restaurant brands in the UK.

Additionally I advise clients within the financial sector on funding security – particularly in relation to property portfolio funding.

 Financial Services

I act for banks in relation to:

  • property portfolio refinancing;
  • forced disposals;
  • their own occupational requirements.

 Real Estate

I advise on all non-contentious commercial property related issues.  My practice is mostly transaction based, including acquisitions, disposals and landlord and tenant related matters.  I assist landlords and tenants in equal measure in relation to new lettings, lease renewals, lease re-gearing and other property management issues.

I advise on:

  • acquisitions and disposals (including the real estate aspects of S.P.V. acquisitions and disposals);
  • non-contentious landlord and tenant matters (including new lettings, renewals and management);
  • finance (including acquisition finance and refinancing).

 Real Estate Investment

I have extensive experience of advising on high value property investment acquisitions (including acquisition finance), refinance, management and disposals.

I regularly lead acquisition, refinance and disposal teams drawing together relevant expertise in our real estate, corporate, tax and construction groups.
