Carina Davis

Carina is a real estate partner and specialises in structuring and delivering large scale, mixed use, residential led communities/strategic sites, real estate led joint venture agreements and large scale cross-office projects (including managing large scale portfolios for clients of circa 500 properties). Her development expertise involves advising upon all aspects of development work including: site assembly, development agreements, land sales/purchases, promotion agreements, collaboration/consortium and land owner agreements, overage agreements, leases and discussions and negotiations with third parties (utility providers and local authorities) in relation to infrastructure and statutory agreements. The other side of Carina’s practice involves her helping clients structure, fund and then project manage volume acquisitions and disposals. Such projects span multiple disciples, may involve different jurisdictions, requires a close working relationship with the client’s board, tax, planning and environmental consultants, and are often time critical. Carina also leads our Patient Capital arm of our Real Estate Investment Sector which means she works alongside many stakeholders on emerging themes in this sphere, commenting on potential new structures both within the Strategic Land remit and on matters such as the Stewardship Model. · Mills & Reeve LLP
