She acts for a broad spectrum of clients including high-net-worth individuals, investors, companies and banks. Jessica has experience working on a range of transactions relating to prime residential property in London and the country. Jessica represents a broad spectrum of clients, including private high-net worth individuals, family offices, trustees, charities, tenants and banks.
