Emma Chater

Partner

Areas of Expertise

Emma has been advising on all aspects of Commercial Property for over ten years. She specialises in assisting clients with the sale and acquisition of multi-let estates. She also acts for both landlords and tenants in relation to leases, and lease renewals, particularly where there is a programme of construction and development work involved.

Emma also works with clients who are owner manager businesses, and large corporates who are acquiring or selling a business alongside the property transaction. Emma works closely with her Corporate and Commercial colleagues, and has particular expertise in identifying the role that a property has in her client’s overall plans for their business, whether this is expansion, development, or part of an exit strategy.

“Precise, to the point, and honest. I have worked with Emma for over six years now, and her client service really is second to none. I value her commitment to “get things done”, especially her ability to turn things around quickly when needed. I have absolute confidence in Emma’s calm yet “no-nonsense” approach – she is always “one step ahead”, and has been instrumental in getting several complicated deals over the line. Put simply – I could not have worked with anyone better.”
