Tom Brearley

Overview

I’m a senior Solicitor in the Real Estate team, having been part of the friendly and supportive Michelmores team for over 15 years.

I undertake a broad range of general Commercial Property work, including purchases and sales, asset management, lettings, options, development agreements and secured lending. I have also enjoyed developing expertise in more specialist areas such as telecommunications masts, renewable energy projects, mineral extraction and personal pension funds (like SIPP and SSAS schemes).

One of my long-standing clients is Exeter Airport, who I’ve had the pleasure of assisting with estate management and development work since 2007.
