Commercial property specialist joins the team

Setfords Solicitors has welcomed Mark Waterfield to its commercial property practice as a consultant.

Mark joins the firm's Epsom office in Surrey after more than eight years at Nicholas & Co Solicitors, where he was formerly a partner and director. He specialises in commercial property matters, including sales and purchases, leasing and mortgages on behalf of property investors, developers and landlords. He also has experience handling offshore investments and residential property transactions.

Discussing his new role, Mark said: ‘I offer clients a dedicated service that sees me work directly with them from site acquisition through the development stage and then to sales of the developed units. As a consultant I will offer a single point of contact, delivering clear and commercially-minded advice for clients involved in complex property projects. The Setfords’ model will allow me to deliver what clients need, how and when they need it with flexibility and freedom. I am delighted I can offer an expert service, on terms that suit both my clients and myself.’

Co-CEO of the firm Guy Setford added: ‘The fact we can offer talented and ambitious lawyers a place to own and grow their business on their terms is highly attractive. As such our nationwide network of commercial property experts is rapidly expanding and we are delighted to welcome Mark. With his experience of the requirements of overseas investors and jurisdictions, he is an asset to our team of property specialists, and provides further complementary expertise to the range of international services we offer clients across practices.’
