What can I do for you

David acts across a wide breadth of corporate real estate matters with a specific focus on the property aspects associated with large scale corporate and procurement projects. David has three focus areas - corporate support (for merger & acquisition deals), corporate occupiers (advising corporate clients on their premises and operational real estate requirements) and corporate real estate consultancy (working with professional services firms to provide structuring advice and transaction support). As part of the region's leading property team, David receives regular instructions on multi-site acquisitions and disposals and his approach is underpinned by significant experience in advising clients on the commercial risk profile associated with property portfolios.

What do others say

David has recently led on structuring the property aspects of the future operating model for NHS procurement and the lead lawyer at the government legal department remarked that "David was brilliant to work with and his input was really valuable".

Supporting your ambitions

One of David's recent highlights has involved leading the property relationship with a national corporate veterinary acquirer in supporting its highly ambitous, multi-million pound volume acquisition strategy. The approach of the real estate team has allowed the client to focus on the material transactional issues. This combined with additional support provided by the teams experience and judgment have ensured that the mutuals of risk and timing have been balanced to achieve the client's desired results in an exceptionally short timeframe.

What else should you know?

David is the Norwich office lead for a firm real estate thought leadership project "Exciting Disruptors". This project focuses on the disruption caused by technological advances and social changes and considers the effect that this will have on the future of the built environment.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
