Spear’s Review

Leigh Shapiro is an expert when it comes to all aspects of residential leasehold law. The highly experienced property lawyer focuses on issues relating to lease extensions, collective enfranchisement, rights of first refusal and right to manage claims.

With the interests of her clients at the fore, Shapiro brings highly technical leaseholder legislation into focus through a commercial lens. Protecting her clients’ rights is of paramount importance, whether they are a leaseholder, landlord, developer or private investor.

Following a six-year tenure at Irwin Mitchell, she joined Winckworth Sherwood as partner in 2024. She is a member of both the Law Society of England and Wales and the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners. Shapiro is also an honorary consultant for the Federation of Private Residents’ Associations.
