Real estate
David is a senior consultant in the Guildford office, specialising in real estate and residential development work. He is involved in substantial land sales and acquisitions, acting for several prominent land owners, negotiating complex and unusual transactions, and advising on development work.
His experience includes advising on industrial, office, retail and landlord and tenant matters, as well as residential development. David has many long-standing clients and connections who are involved in a variety of fields, including high performance car design and production, and offshore powerboat racing, collaborating with other specialist teams from across the firm who advise on trademarks, technology and knowhow agreements, design rights, and licensing agreements.
I have worked in the real estate and property industry for several decades, and property development and investment are my world. I enjoy acting for clients – both experienced, and those who are just starting out – assisting them with my extensive technical and practical knowledge, and my very wide ranging network, which I have built up over the years.
David represents a diverse range of other clients, including private individual land owners and investors, and leading UK offshore powerboat racing clubs. He is also a notary public, dealing with a range of international documentation for a variety of companies and individuals, and often travelling to see clients outside of normal working hours.

Good communication and user friendly. They are good at filtering information based on my knowledge and experience and don’t flood you with extraneous data and they keep focused on the goals at hand.
