Claire Nelson

Claire regularly deals with the acquisition, disposal, funding and management of real estate assets within the UK often through complex and tax-driven multi-jurisdictional property structures, financing and tax mitigation arrangements. She specialises in investment, acting for a number of landlords with large portfolios on all their management needs. Conversely, on the corporate occupier side, she has built up a following of private equity companies and investment managers in dealing with their office moves. This allows her to see both sides of landlord and tenant transactions and enables her to cut through unnecessary arguments, saving time and money for clients. Claire has a reputation for ‘getting the deal done’ and tenaciously leads teams through transactions, advising in many sectors including offices and retail. She has a wide range of clients including high profile individuals, family offices, private and public companies and banks. She is also the Company Solicitor for the Carpenters’ Company, a City of London Livery Company. · Wedlake Bell LLP
