Anna Lewis

Anna specialises in the sale and purchase of all types of residential property, with particular expertise in the prime central London market. She advises on high‑value and complex transactions and is known for providing clear, practical guidance throughout the process.

Anna works closely with the Private Client team on estate planning and succession matters, ensuring clients receive fully integrated advice across property, structuring and long‑term wealth planning. This collaborative approach enables her to support clients whose personal, family and international interests require coordinated and specialist input.

She has a particular interest in statutory lease extensions, acting for both landlords and tenants. As an active member of the firm’s Leasehold Reform Group, she brings detailed knowledge of the legal framework and its practical implications.

Anna is the firm’s main point of contact for French‑speaking clients, offering a bilingual service to bolster the firm’s offering for international buyers, sellers and investors.

She has also developed a niche practice in de‑envelopments, advising on the liquidation of overseas companies holding UK property following changes to inheritance tax and ATED legislation, which has broadened into wider experience with offshore ownership structures and their interaction with UK property law.

She has varied experience including first registrations and the management of freehold interests.
