Partner and Solicitor

Deborah Black

“Buying and developing sites presents different challenges for each client. It’s very important to get to know each client’s concerns and priorities so that matters progress quickly and efficiently and clients achieve their desired outcome in their preferred timescale. I want to ensure that clients are kept fully informed at every stage of the process and I do this by taking a pro-active approach with other parties to the transaction. We work closely as a team so that we are always available to deal with queries.”
