Background and industry experience

Laura Sutton is a Partner within the Industrial and Logistics department, leading the London Agency team and supporting the national business. Her focus is in generating new business opportunities for developer, property company and institutional clients as well as handling a range of leasing and acquisition transactions for both landlords and corporate occupiers.
Laura has been working in this sector for 30 years and has a huge amount of specialist knowledge in general agency as well as in development projects and more complex transactions. From site finding through development and completing the lettings for landlords, to site source and selection services for occupier clients (and everything in between), she believes in formulating high quality bespoke services to suit each project and client, as no two are ever the same.
Laura lives in Walton on Thames with her husband and three teenage children who take up a large part of her spare time, primarily these days being a free taxi. She enjoys North Devon, cinema and theatre as well as occasional refurbishment projects.

About me

Why did you join Fisher German?
I was attracted by the scale and culture of the business and its ambitious growth plans.

What has been your favourite project and why?
None here yet! I've enjoyed many although prior to starting here one of my favourite projects was to support an engineering company in its sourcing and acquisition of a 56,000 sq m purpose-built manufacturing facility in Oxfordshire which is under construction. It was a challenging brief that required a great deal of intelligent teamwork across many disciplines including architecture, construction specification, planning and complex contract negotiation over 2 years. Really interesting project.
