Approach to work and clients

Fereshteh is passionate about helping clients achieve their objectives efficiently so they can focus on their businesses and personal lives. She offers clients an initial consultation to discuss their requirements, particularly when negotiating Heads of Terms for commercial leases, ensuring key issues are identified from the outset.

She believes in providing clear, practical advice, transparent fees and regular communication throughout every transaction. Clients have direct access to her by telephone and email, and she aims to respond to enquiries within 24 to 48 hours. If a matter becomes more complex or additional costs are likely to arise, she ensures clients are informed as early as possible.

Fereshteh particularly enjoys the strategic side of commercial property transactions and lease negotiations. She encourages clients to seek legal advice before Heads of Terms are agreed, helping them negotiate favourable terms and avoid costly issues later in the transaction.

She takes pride in drafting clear, well-structured leases, deeds and licences that protect her clients' long-term interests and minimise the risk of future disputes. Her attention to detail, collaborative approach and ability to explain complex legal concepts in straightforward language help clients make informed decisions with confidence.
