She was promoted to Member in 2018 and has been head of the Commercial Property Department since 2017.

She also has extensive experience of residential conveyancing, including the sale and purchase of freehold and leasehold land, remortgages, transfers of equity, equity release, variations of leases and lease extensions.

In the Legal 500 2020 Joanne Wood was again named as a next generation lawyer in the ‘very professional’ Commercial Property practice:

“Joanne Wood and Shelley Fitzpatrick are outstanding to deal with. The firm should treasure such approachable friendly and contactable staff.”

‘”Joanne Wood has a great legal mind and also a great memory which means you get great advice, and she is already aware of our position when we discuss new issues.”
