Meet Shahaab

I joined Lawrence Stephens in February 2026 within the Real Estate Finance team. Prior to this, I was an SQE trainee for an international full-service law firm based in the City of London.

My experience is predominately within real estate, acting for both borrowers and bridging lenders on property transactions. I also have experience in landlord and tenant matters and acting for franchise clients on commercial lease transactions.

Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active and regularly play football and badminton.
