Edward Burton

Edward has experience in working across the spectrum of residential property work, from listed buildings on the London estates to new build super prime apartments and country houses. He regularly acts on the most complex and highest value deals in London. He also advises on enfranchisement and lease extensions as well as working closely with the Private Wealth team on residential property structures. Edward is used to exchanging and completing transactions in very short time frames, and at times, within a day.

Having obtained MAs from Oxford University and Durham University and an LLB from the College of Law, Edward trained and qualified at Allen & Overy LLP in March 2012 before joining Maurice Turnor Gardner in September 2013.

Edward is top ranked as a Band 1 lawyer in the Chambers HNW Guide 2022, where he is described as “one of the best lawyers in London, hands down” and praised for his excellent technical and commercial expertise. Sources comment that “his client skills are excellent, he is very efficient, he cuts to the point, and he is always going above and beyond for clients”. The guide adds that he is “perhaps the smartest brain of all property lawyers… he does it all with a bit of humour and is very likeable.”
