Jamie Lynch

Partner

Jamie is a Partner in Herrington Carmichael’s real estate team with a broad knowledge across all aspects of commercial property. He has over a decade of experience advising on non-contentious real estate matters, including acquisitions and disposals, development land (options and promotion agreements), secured lending / real estate finance (acting for borrowers and lenders), the property aspects of corporate transactions and transactional landlord and tenant matters.

He routinely acts for corporate occupier clients, primarily on the relocation of headquarters or the acquisition of additional space. He regularly advises landlords on the asset management of their property portfolios. In addition to high end landlord and tenant work, he enjoys working alongside either landlords or tenants on individual lettings for smaller / medium sized businesses and private individuals.

Jamie has extensive experience acting on acquisitions, disposals and development of industrial estates, retail parks, data centres and office buildings. He also has a particular interest in and advises on green energy projects (including EE charging, solar and wind).

He recognises that clients are looking for clear, concise and pragmatic legal advice. Jamie appreciates that delivering a client’s outcome within their desired timescales is often the most important consideration when selecting your legal advisor. He strives to be as accessible to his clients as needed and prides himself on being highly responsive and quick to act. Jamie has been effective at helping clients that have historically used City-based law firms to achieve better value for money whilst providing the same top-level of service that they are used to.

Jamie joined Herrington Carmichael in 2024 from a top 50 UK law firm and before that practised as a solicitor in the Real Estate division of city firm Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, qualifying in 2012.

Client Success Stories

We were pleased to trust Jamie, Will, and the wider Herrington Carmichael team with our group’s three combined loan facilities with a value of circa £7m. They delivered efficient, strategic advice under a compressed timeline, navigating complex transactional hurdles. Jamie and Will worked collaboratively with my fellow directors and I, as well as the broker, to negotiate key milestones. The security documents involved an intricate suite of facility documentation, which they handled with impressive turnaround times, ensuring clarity throughout the process.

Director of a group entity

At Arose Finance, we’re delighted to have worked with Herrington Carmichael to deliver a tailored development exit finance solution for this client. Like many SME property developers, the client required additional time to realise the value of completed units while refinancing expensive existing debt. With three borrowing entities and a complex security profile, the transaction required carefully structured property finance and close collaboration between broker, lender and solicitors.

Jamie and Will were exceptional throughout. They worked closely with us to navigate the complexities of the portfolio refinancing, bringing a pragmatic, commercial approach and a real commitment to meeting the required completion timeframe. Their responsiveness and attention to detail were instrumental in achieving a strong outcome for the client.

A fantastic result, and I look forward to working with Jamie, Will and the wider Herrington Carmichael team again soon.

I deal with many law firms and in recent years I have noticed a 'shift' toward an 'over' emphasis on ensuring boxes are ticked rather than being solution-led. Jamie Lynch and his team struck the right balance and never forgot that the client actually wants the best outcome!

Jamie and Hannah made a complicated BTL sale as easy as possible, pushing back hard against a challenging solicitor and ensuring the right result was had as speedily as possible. Both were incredibly informative and I didn’t once have a concern for communication. I would highly recommend them both and thank them again!
