Mark, who was admitted as a solicitor in December 2004, joined the TSP Agriculture and Commercial Property team in October 2015. Based in the Colchester office, Mark is a Legal 500 Recommended Lawyer. He specialises in Commercial Property work including:

  • Assisting Landlords and Tenants with all types of leasehold transactions including the grant of new leases, lease renewals and the transfer of leases from an outgoing tenant to an incoming tenant
  • Helping Buyers and Sellers with the acquisition and sale of commercial property and development land ensuring the resolution of all issues relating to the transaction and providing pragmatic advice in doing so
  • Supporting both experienced and less experienced property owners to increase their property portfolios
  • Providing speedy advice to commercial property owners looking to acquire land and property at auction
  • Advising SMEs on business purchases and sales where there is a leasehold or freehold property element to the transaction
  • Financing and refinancing property transactions

Having initially qualified as a teacher in primary school education Mark underwent a career change at the start of the millennium. Studying at the London College of Law Mark trained to be a solicitor for 4 years on a part time basis whilst still teaching. Mark achieved his Post Graduate Diploma in Law in 2002 before undertaking and passing the Legal Practice Course in 2004.

Mark says “Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than dealing with transactions both tenaciously and pragmatically ensuring that difficulties that can occasionally seem insurmountable are overcome to the satisfaction of my clients. I believe it is important to invest passionately in the plans of your client as in doing so good long term relationships and sometimes friendships are fostered”

Thompson Smith and Puxon has, for a number of years, been recommended by the Legal 500 in the Commercial Property practice area. In 2022/2023 the Legal 500 said: With an office in Colchester, practitioners at Thompson Smith and Puxon have seen a steady recent increase in workload, particularly in complex and high-value work acting for landowners in strategic land planning and development matters. A recent highlight for the team in this area includes advising on strategic land projects with end development values over £100m. Practice head Stephen Firmin is commended as ‘an excellent commercial lawyer‘, and Kerry Addison specialises in developments and rural property issues.
