Position
Anna leads the firm’s charity property practice which advises charities, social enterprises, RP’s and healthcare organisations in solving property related problems including title issues, freehold disputes, commercial and residential landlord and tenant disputes, business leases renewals and property related professional negligence. Anna is passionate about the not-for-profit sector and is driven by making a positive difference to the organisations she represents.
Anna also applies her deep subject matter expertise in solving complex property issues to assist the firm’s receivership clients.
Anna approaches her work with clients as a partnership – working closely with them and other parties involved to get the right result. Often this means ensuring that property problems are resolved in an efficient manner so that funds are received more quickly or at a higher level of recovery.
