Irwin Mitchell

Real Estate

Partner

I am a partner and the National Head of the Real Estate division. I bring over 30 years’ experience advising on both commercial and residential development projects.

Over the course of my career, I have worked alongside clients on a wide range of large-scale development transactions, and I understand that every project is bespoke, encompassing multiple legal disciplines. The challenge is always to ensure that the transaction is tightly project managed to deliver the right commercial outcome within the prescribed timescales.

I specialise in real estate development, with a particular focus on large-scale residential and mixed-use regeneration schemes. These projects can be intricate and fast-moving, often involving multiple stakeholders and competing priorities. I pride myself on delivering strategic advice that keeps developments progressing smoothly, while protecting my clients’ interests at every stage.

I regularly advise on promotion and option agreements, land assembly, and the delivery of purpose-built student accommodation schemes, drawing on a deep understanding of both the legal framework and the commercial drivers behind these markets.

I act for several leading developers, promoters, and operators, building long-standing relationships based on trust, responsiveness, and results. By combining technical understanding with a collaborative and approachable style, I aim to ensure that my clients feel supported, informed and confident throughout the lifecycle of their projects.
