About

I specialise in commercial real estate and have a wide range of experience of all areas of non-contentious commercial property work. I have worked extensively for both landlords and tenants on all types of leasehold matters; investment work; real estate finance; and advising on the property elements of corporate acquisitions and disposals. My approach is to swiftly learn about my client's business; its sector; and short & long-term strategies so that my advice and proposed solutions are tailored to that particular client and its personal requirements rather than offering generic legal advice. Two testimonials that I have received sum up my approach to my clients:- 'Philip Gray is an exceptional lawyer. He is not only extremely knowledgeable, but he is able to articulate his advice in a way that everyone can understand. He goes above and beyond to deliver first class customer service and is always able to find a solution to problems.' Legal 500 2026 “I have always found him to be consistently available and responsive to all and any advice or solutions that are required either of a technical or commercial nature … Philip has made it his purpose to be totally conversant with every detail of our portfolio … the advice he gives us is bespoke to our business not merely generic … I can truthfully say that my job would be far more difficult if I did not have his unswerving support.”
