I sold and bought property. Richard would always return my calls and answer any queries. I trusted him and things went smoothly. I would certainly use Amphlett Lissimore again.

About Richard

I’m a Consultant Solicitor at Amphlett Lissimore, based in our Crystal Palace office.

I have been involved in a number of legal disciplines over the years but nowadays I concentrate on commercial property law and litigation acting for a wide range of clients. I specialise in Business leases and licences and the buying and selling of businesses. I have a particular interest in the sale and purchase of nursing homes and pubs.

Throughout my legal career I have been based in Southeast London and was a partner in local firm Denniss Matthews in Anerley, prior to its amalgamation with Amphlett Lissimore in 2013. My client base spans Southwark, Lambeth, and Croydon, and further afield. If you would like to discuss your commercial property matter, I can be contacted via the links above.
