About Marc

Expertise Down arrow

Marc has a broad practice, advising on the full scope of commercial property transactions from acquisition through to realisation of disposals.

He has expertise in advising on the acquisition of land for development, with particular focus on the healthcare and later living sectors. This often involves planning conditionality, options to acquire and assemble sites and working collaboratively with development partners to achieve a joint scheme. His experience covers the full development cycle, involving detailed input from our construction team on the appointment of contractors and professionals through to funding advice, whether incorporating new sites into existing structures or obtaining development funding for new projects.

Marc advises investors on the acquisition of commercial real estate and handles all elements of asset management work that accompany such purchases, as well as advising major corporates on their leasing requirements.

Marc and his team also work closely with major hospitality providers on their UK estate, buying and selling assets and advising on all landlord and tenant matters as well as litigation and employment concerns.
