Tiah joined Birketts in July 2023. She is an Associate (Chartered Legal Executive) based within the Commercial Real Estate Team in the Ipswich office.

Tiah has acted for a variety of clients including developers, investors, landlords, tenants and lenders.

Her work spans acquisitions, disposals, and complex lease arrangements, always tailored to the operational and commercial realities of this dynamic industry.

Tiah works closely with colleagues across corporate, employment, and regulatory teams to deliver a seamless, full-service legal offering. Whether acting for independent businesses or national brands, she provides commercially focused, pragmatic advice that supports clients at every stage of their business journey.
