Rosanna Parker is a consultant commercial property solicitor - and not the kind who hides behind jargon and six-month email chains.

Working through Spencer West LLP, a global law firm, Rosanna advises investors, landlords, developers, business owners and property professionals on commercial property transactions, with specialist expertise in SIPP and SSAS pension property purchases.

She's known for being proactive, commercially minded and genuinely easy to work with - the solicitor who picks up the phone, spots the issues others miss and actually gets deals over the line.

If you're buying, selling, leasing or refinancing commercial property and want someone who treats your deal with the same urgency you do, Rosanna is the person to call: Rosanna.Parker@spencer-west.com, 07929 599981, or @thatpropertysolicitor on Instagram.
