Solicitor joins real estate & construction team

DMH Stallard has appointed Carolyn Lee as a solicitor in its London real estate and construction team.

Carolyn most recently worked in the construction group at Linklaters, where she acted for major property developers.

Kerry Beattie, partner in the London real estate and construction team, said: “Carolyn will be a great addition to the team as we increasingly work on significant  transactions with developers, funders, owners and occupiers.

“She has excellent experience in the drafting and negotiation of all documents required to procure developments including, in particular JCT forms of contract and bespoke agreements. Carolyn will also be advising on construction obligations in real estate transactional documents, such as development agreements and agreements for lease.”

Carolyn commented: “Having been a trainee solicitor under Kerry when I started my career, it’s great to work with her again. The DMH Stallard team works on some exciting and challenging projects and I’m looking forward to contributing to its continued success.”
