Andrew Farnell

Partner

As a Partner within the Commercial Property team, my practice focuses on the undertaking of new commercial property lettings, drafting and negotiating lease agreements for development properties, and newly refurbished buildings. I specialise in the sale and purchase of all forms of freehold and commercial leasehold property including offices, warehouses, retail centres, clubs, pubs and restaurants.

I am regularly asked to act for clients in respect of commercial lease renewals and contested renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, and the acquisition and disposal of investment property subject to occupational leases.

My clients are corporates and high-net-worth individuals who reside domestically and off-shore.
