Emma Honey

I’m a Partner in Michelmores’ Transactional Real Estate Team and Head of the Real Estate Department. My work is primarily focussed on development, principally residential development but also mixed use and commercial development but I have extensive experience of all types of commercial property transactions including buying and selling land and acting for both landlord and tenants on leasehold arrangements.

I work with developers, promoters and landowners and advise on sale and purchase contracts conditional on planning, option agreements, promotion agreements in relation to both immediate land requirements and strategic land.

I have a particular interest in sustainability issues in development such as biodiversity net gain and nutrient neutrality.

I enjoy working with my clients on a long term basis, getting to know them and getting to understand their business and priorities. Through this I am able to give commercial and strategic advice and support my clients in finding solutions. My clients are based across the country but my focus is primarily within the South West region.

Over the years I have worked with a number of further and higher education institutions and I education and the development of others is a passion of mine. I was our training principal for many years with responsibility for trainee solicitors and I have an ongoing interest in training and supporting the next generation.

I have worked with Michelmores since 2000, joining the Firm after relocating from my home city, London, where I trained and then qualified with a large city firm. I love the collaborative and entrepreneurial culture of the Firm which continues to sit at the heart of all we do even though the firm has grown and evolved in so many ways.
