About

Commercial Property Solicitor

My name is John McLean, and I am an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor and Partner with Nexa Law Limited.  I have over 14 years’ experience in handling Commercial Property matters, and can deal with all types of Commercial Property work:

commercial property solicitor midlands
  • Freehold – Acquisitions and Disposals.  I can act for the Buyer or the Seller.
  • Leasehold – Asset Management (Deeds of Variation, Licences to Alter, Licences to Assign, Licences to Underlet & Rent Deposit Deeds), Lease Assignments, Long Leases, Rack Rent Leases and Renewal Leases.  I can act for the Landlord or the Tenant.
  • Other – Deeds of Easement, Licences to Occupy, Mortgages, Charges & Refinancing, Option Agreements, Overage Deeds, Pre-Emption Agreements and Promotion Agreements.

Experienced

I trained at international firm Eversheds LLP in Birmingham (2005-2007) and then worked at Eversheds for a further 9 years as a Solicitor, Associate and Senior Associate in the corporate occupiers department to 2016.  I acted for some very large corporates, with significant estates of commercial property – for example a high street bank, a nationwide self-storage company and a water and sewerage undertaker.

In 2016, on the birth of my first son, I moved to regional firm Thursfields, where I spent a further 5 years as a Senior Associate in the Birmingham and Kidderminster offices.  I acted for a wealth of local businesses in the midlands region – occupiers, landlords, landowners and developers.  I also carried out more specialised work for clients further afield, including a Local Authority based in Hertfordshire.

I joined Nexa Law as a Partner in 2021, and continue to provide pragmatic, commercially focused and technically effective advice to clients locally and nationally.

Skilled

I am:

  • Commercial – I deliver commercial quality advice to best suit my client’s business.
  • Expert – issues are identified early, allowing them to be resolved in good time before completion.
  • Flexible – as a consultant solicitor with Nexa Law, I am not bound by a rigid office structure – I will work when and where needed to get the job done.
  • Directly contactable – all my clients receive my direct contact details.  This means you can speak to me, the solicitor dealing with your transaction, whenever you need to.
  • Experienced – I have experience from 11 years at Eversheds acting for national corporates, high street banks and regional and national utility companies.  I have the experience and knowledge from the big-ticket work.  I have 5 years of experience with Thursfields, acting for owner occupiers, small developers and local businesses.  I can use both sets of knowledge to achieve commercial results for your business.
  • Reliable – I do what I say I will do, when I say I will do it.
  • Thorough – I am a thorough and capable Commercial Property Solicitor, which means that you won’t be hit with any nasty surprises at the end of the job or after it, and I can handle your complex and intricate transactions, as well as BAU jobs.
  • Tenacious – I am a safe pair of hands for your transaction, meaning it will be completed when you want it and how you want it with the minimum of fuss.

Safe

If instructed, all work is carried out through Nexa Law Limited, who carry all the necessary professional indemnity insurance and infrastructure to ensure that your transaction is handled safely and securely.  Nexa is authorised and regulated by the SRA.  You can find out more detail about Nexa here – www.nexa.law .  

I am not a sole practitioner or one-man band.  I work as a consultant via Nexa Law, with the full support of the Nexa Law practice (Support Team, Accounts Team, and Deeds Storage).  If I require additional expertise (for example, if there are Planning or Construction matters involved in a property transaction I am dealing with), I can bring in my fellow consultants to assist as required.  Nexa has over 100 consultant solicitors with varied specialisms.  Nexa have experts in commercial contracts, corporate transactions, disputes, employment law and tax law to name but a few.  If your business requires any commercially focused advice, I will be able to source a Nexa consultant to provide it for you.  Similarly, Nexa has the full range of private client services, including conveyancing law, family law, wills and estates, so if you have a personal legal need, again I will be able to source a Nexa consultant to advise you and your family.  All Nexa consultants have to be at least 8 years’ qualified, so you know that you are always getting an experienced and safe pair of hands.

I aim to respond to enquiries within 24 hours.  Please provide brief details of what you are looking for assistance with, and your contact details (telephone number and email address are usually best, but whatever suits you).  Just let me know when you contact me which is your preferred means of contact.  Usually, the next step will be an initial discussion so that I can understand your query and give an appropriate quotation.  Don’t worry, any initial chat is free – it is important to me to understand your business and what exactly is required, so that I can give an accurate quotation to you for any work required.  I look forward to speaking with you!

And finally…

I am based in Kinver, just outside Stourbridge, West Midlands, which is where I live and work.  I can arrange meetings as required, whether that be at your premises, or in my well appointed meeting space in Kinver.  I can alternatively meet in Nexa’s London office.

I have two small boys, and my wonderful wife, who I spend most of my time with, and enjoy reading, painting and wargaming in my spare time (if I get any!).

Please do get in touch if you have any queries at all, and I can see if I can help.

Best wishes

John
