Tara specialises in property transactions for mainly commercial clients, dealing with plot sales and site set-ups, refinancing transactions, acquisitions and disposals of commercial property, and non-contentious landlord and tenant transactions. Tara also has experience with residential transactions for both buyers and sellers of freehold and leasehold property.

Tara prides herself on being proactive on matters and keeping clients in the loop at all stages of a transaction. Her breadth of knowledge and expertise across numerous areas of law, both contentious and non-contentious, means Tara can look at the wider picture when advising clients on a commercial and practical level.

Tara completed her training contract at Lester Aldridge in March 2023, having undertaken seats in Corporate and Insolvency, Real Estate Development and Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence. Before this, Tara worked in the Dispute Resolution team at Lester Aldridge, assisting with SRA interventions and property and commercial disputes.
