Rachel Sales
I joined Blake Morgan as a newly qualified commercial property solicitor in 2007 after undertaking my training contract at Pinsent Masons. I am now a Senior Associate at Blake Morgan and run a sub-team which predominantly acts for clients in the charities and educations sectors.
I act for charity clients of all sizes ranging from small local charities to household name clients. I have specialised in charity property work for more than 10 years and have particular experience of landlord and tenant, and retail matters.
I regularly advise on the property aspects arising out of schools and colleges converting to become academies, including assisting clients with post conversion consent applications. I also have experience of working on transfers of academies between multi-academy trusts. I work closely with my charities team colleagues on education matters as well as supporting them with their wider work for charities.
Outside of work I am a Trustee with an Oxford based charity.
