We are a *team of bright minds

Stavros has developed a strong reputation within the industry for his exceptional legal expertise and quality of client service, having recently been named in Bridging & Commercial’s 35 Under 35 Power List 2020.

He is also the solicitor of choice for a reputable peer-to-peer lender and has represented them in over 200 bridging transactions over the course of the last five years.

Stavros has extensive experience in acting for bridging and term lenders, challenger banks, private lenders and peer-to-peer lenders across a wide range of property transactions, including acquisitions, refinances of large residential and mixed-use portfolios and development finance.

In addition to Stavros’ expertise in secured lending transactions, he also routinely acts for a range of individual investors and trading businesses occupying properties across residential and commercial property transactions.

Highly valued by his colleagues and clients for his unrivalled dedication and expertise, Stavros has been selected for secondments with two challenger banks, the most recent in September 2020, which has enabled him to gain vital access to secured lending processes from an internal financial and commercial banking perspective.

Outside of the office Stavros enjoys playing and watching all things football-related, insisting he is a longstanding Arsenal fan, albeit he switched allegiances at the age of 8 from their local rivals.
