Michelmores LLP

I am a Partner in Michelmores’ Planning and Environmental team. I deal with all aspects of both Planning and Environmental law, acting for a wide range of clients, including developers, landed estates and other landowners, other private individuals, trusts, not for profit organisations and corporate entities. In relation to planning matters, my work includes negotiating complex planning agreements, advising on planning applications and appeals (including providing advice on EIA and CIL), submitting Judicial Review and other Court challenges, acting in enforcement cases, advising on historic buildings and landed estate/agricultural matters, assisting clients with permitted development and other rights and acting on compulsory purchase/DCO schemes. The above are in relation to large-scale housing and other developments, energy matters (including renewables and hydrocarbons), data centres, arboricultural, wildlife, biodiversity, sustainability and conservation issues, landed estates and farms, hotel and leisure operations, care homes and infrastructure projects such as Crossrail. I also advise on planning issues arising in corporate and financing transactions and property purchases and sales. On the environmental side, I advise on contaminated land, environmental liability and other issues arising in property and corporate transactions and on asbestos and other potentially harmful substances.

I am a Partner in Michelmores’ Tax, Trusts and Succession team. I deal with all aspects of estate and succession planning and have extensive experience of advising high net worth individuals and business-owning families in relation to a wide range of succession and tax matters. In particular, I work closely with landed estate owners, their trustees and professional advisers in relation to a range of taxation, trust and succession planning advice – it is always a privilege to be part of an advisory team that can help guide, preserve and enhance hugely significant and historic estates. I also advise rural business owners and wealthy entrepreneurs on tax and estate planning issues, including passing assets to the next generation tax efficiently while retaining proper provision and control for the current generation. My practice has grown significantly in recent years to encompass specialist taxation and succession planning advice for landowners engaging in natural capital and BNG schemes – I much enjoy helping my clients plot a course through thorny issues in this evolving sector. I am proud to say that I was named one of eprivateclient’s Top 35 Under 35 in 2020 and that I was awarded the Silver award in the “Lawyer of the Year – Partner” category at the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2022. I am named as a key lawyer in Legal 500 2023 for Agriculture and Estates, ranked as Recommended in the 2023 Spear’s Tax Lawyers Index, and I am a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
