Talking plain English is the best way to solve problems with a minimum of fuss

Rhodri is a pragmatic and practical problem solver. When a potential issue is identified in a transaction that he's working on, his determination of how it will impact his client's business is a key factor in making sure that deals run as smoothly as possible. By understanding the material issues of what his clients want to know about a property, he's able to offer concise reporting that cuts straight to the core of the key issues at hand.

Rhodri also has experience drafting and reviewing construction documents, including building contracts, consultants' appointments and collateral warranties. In addition, he has acted for pension funds and overseas investment funds, as well as one of the United Kingdom's largest supermarket chains.

He worked previously in the commercial development and investment team of a top 25 UK law firm, where he acted for pension funds, institutional lenders and international real estate investment funds.
