Roy is a Partner and leads our development team.

An experienced real estate development lawyer, Roy handles issues such as long term regeneration, infrastructure and development projects — acting for developers, joint ventures, infrastructure providers, funders and local authorities.

He also advises corporate occupiers on leasehold acquisitions and landowners on disposal and promotion strategies.

Roy has a strong background in leading on development and real estate transactions and has practised for over 15 years. He has a wealth of experience in both the aviation and logistics sectors having previously worked as the senior in-house counsel for real estate at the Manchester Airports Group.

He has led teams on the negotiation for several high profile development and infrastructure projects including office, aviation and logistics developments at major UK Airports, along with the delivery of a number of new office developments and associated infrastructure at city centre transport hubs across the North West together with the subsequent lettings and capital disposals.

Roy and his team have been recognised by The Legal 500 as having worked on “some of the biggest and most complicated development deals of recent times. Their legal acumen, pragmatism, commercialism and tenacity are second to none, wrapped up in an approachable and affable manner which makes working with them an enjoyable experience”.

In addition, Roy has lead on the delivery of mixed use and residential ‘build-to-rent’ schemes at city centre regeneration and development sites, along with the delivery of major transport infrastructure projects including railway hub extensions, metrolink extensions and the construction of new multi-storey car park facilities.

He is a member of The Law Society.

Roy joined us in 2020 and is based in our Manchester office.
