Typical examples of her work include carrying out due diligence for site acquisitions and the negotiation of project documentation including joint ventures with private developers, development agreements, provisions including overage and clawback or scheme specific bespoke clauses, general advice and negotiating and advising on exclusivity agreements, option agreements, land agreements (including subject to planning sites and sub-sale arrangements), promotion agreements, lease renewals and transfers / leases.

Providing affordable homes to local communities is greatly inspiring, and something that I am very passionate about.
