overview
Amira is a partner and is proud to lead our multi-award-winning Residential Property team and our Commercial Property team.
Amira qualified with an LLB (Hons) degree from the University of Hertfordshire and worked with other well-known firms before joining us at Howell Jones. Her specialism is in residential property with a particular focus on high-value and complex transactions.
Amira was shortlisted in the category of Property Lawyer of the Year in the 2021 Surrey Law Society Awards, an award that she won in the 2019 Surrey Law Society Awards. She was also a Finalist in the 2019 Lawnet Awards for the category of Outstanding Individual Contribution and was shortlisted for Lawyer of the Year in the 2020 Modern Law Awards. These are a fitting recognition of her excellent contribution and technical knowledge.
Amira has had notable success in dealing with complex residential property transactions and has recently helped her clients in dealing with particularly complex historic rights and obligations. She has also helped a number of clients with resolving unfavourable lease terms and access issues.
Amira has a keen interest in history and this has helped her to develop a specialism in historical properties and private estates. This, and living locally, has meant that Amira is familiar with, and has substantial experience in dealing with local private estates such as Ashley Park, Burwood Park and St George’s Hill. These estates have various complexities and Amira’s knowledge and ability in dealing with these has led to smoother transactions for our clients.
As well as working with us, Amira supports her local secondary school and Reeds Rugby Club. She loves history, travelling and good food and is keen to visit as many countries as possible with her family.
