    • Meet Danny

    • Danny qualified in 1998 and joined Lawrence Stephens in 2006, having previously worked in the Property department of a leading City firm. He was made a Partner in 2008.

      Danny deals with all aspects of commercial and residential property investment, acquisitions and disposals, development, Landlord & Tenant work and property management.

      He also works closely with the firm’s Corporate department on the property aspects of transactions.

      The only BAFTA nominated partner within the firm, Danny took the scenic route to law. Following a stint in the army and a degree in Film & Television at Tel Aviv University, he moved to the UK and worked in the film industry before qualifying as a solicitor.

      Danny has two daughters and a son and lists his interests as music, art, theatre and motorbikes despite recently hanging up his helmet.

    • "Where so many lawyers can be obstructive, Danny finds solutions and gets deals done. Where so many lawyers only communicate via email and can be hard to get a hold of Danny is very accessible which enables us to transact in a swift and efficient manner."
