Sarah Chen

I'm a Consultant Solicitor with over 15 years of experience in commercial property law. I began my career in a high-street practice before moving to a regional firm where I headed the commercial property team for six years, handling everything from multi-million pound acquisitions to complex development agreements. I qualified in 2009 and have spent the last decade building expertise in the practical, commercial side of property transactions—the kind of advice that saves clients money and prevents disputes down the line.

I'm a member of the Law Society's Property Section and stay actively involved in professional development, regularly updating my knowledge of legislative changes and market practice. I've worked with entrepreneurs, property investors, developers, landlords, and corporate occupiers across the East Midlands and beyond. This diverse experience means I understand not just the law, but the commercial pressures and timescales you're working under.

What I value most is clarity and pragmatism. Legal documents can be impenetrable, and property transactions are often emotionally and financially significant. I pride myself on explaining the implications of decisions in plain English, spotting risks early, and offering practical solutions rather than just identifying problems. I believe the best outcome is one where you fully understand your position and can make confident decisions about your property matters.

I now operate through Nexa Law Limited, where I focus entirely on commercial property advice. This allows me to give bespoke attention to clients rather than being stretched across multiple practice areas. Whether you're acquiring a property, negotiating a lease, managing a landlord-tenant dispute, or structuring a development deal, I bring the same blend of legal expertise and commercial common sense that has earned the trust of my clients over more than a decade.
