• I am a corporate property lawyer with significant experience of advising health, social care and senior living clients (private, public and not for profit organisations) on real estate matters.

    My practice includes advising operators, developers, funders and investors on business and asset transfers (acquisitions and disposals), development work, the property aspects of refinancing matters and various leasing structures all with associated funding arrangements.

    Sarah Skuse is very knowledgeable about the sector and also always takes time to understand our drivers before proposing solutions. It's been very easy to have a collaborative and constructive relationship with Sarah

     I am recognised by my clients as a “strong negotiator and communicator" and for “providing excellent professional advice in a calm and assuring manner”.

    Sarah Skuse is technically brilliant, fun to work with, and always tries to put business our way when speaking with her other clients.

    Before converting to law, I worked in care homes, hospitals and other health sector bodies in a variety of strategic and operational roles, including in national project management as part of a fast-track graduate management scheme, so I appreciate and understand the demands on decision-makers in this sector.
