Experience

Joe completed his training contract at a top 100 London based law firm and joined Birketts on qualification as a Solicitor in September 2016. He is an Associate in our Commercial Property Team in our Norwich office.

Joe’s breadth of experience is highlighted by his membership of the following Birketts sector groups: Care Homes, Strategic Land Group, Education and Public Sector. The membership of these sector groups has involved work such as:

• Assisting care home providers in both the sale and purchase of care homes, often working with colleagues across the firm when a business sale or purchase is also involved.
• Advising a sixth form college on all aspects of their commercial property work including land sales and leasehold work. 
• Dealing with a variety of strategic land documents including conditional contracts, option agreements, legal charges securing deferred payments and overage agreements.

Joe is responsible for organising the legal training for the Commercial Property Team in Norwich, ensuring they keep up to date with the most recent legal developments. Joe also takes an active role in developing precedents and guides within the firm, and has created a number of ‘how to’ guides both internal and external to help streamline the processes for a number of standard property transactions.
