His work includes:

• Acting for a PLC developer in a joint venture agreement of 270 dwellings
• Advising a commercial developer on its first commercial leases and negotiation of collateral warranties
• Acting for a purchaser on stock purchase of 800 homes
• Advising a developer on the sale of 100 plots.

Simon is a board member of Cornerstone Housing and a former head of the charity Devon & Cornwall Lord’s Taverners.

Outside of work Simon is a big rugby fan (especially of Welsh rugby). He also enjoys golf, walking and spending time with his young family.
