Liam Desmond—Spratt Endicott

Commercial property team makes a key appointment

Spratt Endicott has appointed partner Liam Desmond to its commercial property team.

Liam is dual qualified as a solicitor and a barrister. He trained in City firm Bird & Bird before moving to Blake Morgan Solicitors in Oxfordshire, where he had been a partner for a number of years. 

Liam has particular expertise in dealing with business landlord and tenant matters within the retail and charity sectors. Liam has acted for a number of national and international charities with shops, as well as a number of hospice charities.

Andrew Woods, partner and head of commercial property, comments: “Our aim has always been to provide a city style service at a cost commensurate with our location. I am extremely proud of the experience and knowledge we have within our team and Liam’s appointment further deepens that expertise.”

“Our approach is based around knowing the client, the property and the transaction. This, together with our high level of service, has enabled us to retain and grow existing relationships, as well as successfully winning new clients and business.”
