Hannah is an associate specialising in commercial property law at the Enfield office.

After 10 years’ experience in the city of London and having worked more recently infirms in Hertfordshire and Essex, she is able to apply a wealth of experience across the retail, office, industrial and licensed and leisure sectors as well as commercial commonsense in helping her clients to achieve their objectives.

Hannah appreciates that commercial premises can be the ‘bedrock’ for most businesses and investments and that the effective conduct of property affairs is essential to her clients’ commercial well-being and success. She, therefore, takes the trouble to develop a good understanding of her clients’ businesses and objectives and thereby to be better able to assist them in managing their transactions effectively.

In her spare time, Hannah enjoys black and white photography (the non-digital way), cooking and is a closet petrol head.
