Leading law firm Morr & Co has strengthened its commercial property team with the appointment of Nick Leavey as partner.

Nick brings 25 years’ experience advising clients across the real estate sector, with expertise in property development and landlord and tenant work.

In his new role, Nick will focus on growing the firm’s commercial property offering and supporting Morr & Co’s continued expansion across Surrey, Hampshire and London.

Catherine Fisher, managing partner at Morr & Co, said: “Nick and I both worked together previously so I know first-hand how dedicated he is, both to delivering exceptional client service and to driving business growth. He is the ideal person to build on the success of our commercial property team.”

Nick has advised a wide range of clients including listed companies, public sector organisations, global corporations, family-owned businesses and private individuals. His experience spans commercial and mixed-use development schemes, working with investors, landlords, occupiers and tenants on transactions and portfolio management.

He is recognised for providing strategic, commercially focused advice, grounded in a clear understanding of clients’ businesses and objectives. His deal experience ranges from smaller projects to those worth tens of millions of pounds. Nick has also developed significant expertise across the real estate, public and education sectors.

Based across Morr & Co’s Redhill and Wimbledon offices, Nick said: “I have always really enjoyed helping clients grow their businesses, through delivering excellent client service, in turn helping my colleagues develop our own business, and so Morr & Co is a great fit – and working closer to home is the icing on the cake!”

Nick joins the Morr & Co team from Knights Plc, which he joined when they acquired his previous firm, Coffin Mew. At Coffin Mew, Nick held roles including Chairman and Head of Real Estate.

Nick joins a commercial property team at Morr & Co that supports landlords and tenants, businesses, investors, developers and landowners to maximise opportunities and manage risk in a complex and fast-moving market.

The team advises on acquisition and sale, planning, funding, development, construction and leasing, and works with clients across sectors including healthcare, office, retail, industrial, pensions, portfolio management, licensed premises and not-for-profit organisations.
