Tora Leslie

Senior Associate - Commercial Property, Business Law

What do you do?

As a Senior Associate in the Commercial Property/Business Law Team, I act for many clients including developers in refinancing and lending, landlords and tenants in commercial leasehold and freehold acquisitions and sales, as well as joint ventures, partnerships, and businesses. Working closely with my Head of Department and Partners, I advise on a wide variety of transactional and commercial/land law related matters.

Having graduated with a First in Law at Queen Mary University, I completed my training contract at Huggins in 2009, and returned in 2017 after working in Central London specialising in national defense and infrastructure planning and inquiry law. In 2023, I obtained a Masters Degree in International Business and Commercial Law.

  • I just wanted to let you know how professional and friendly Tora Leslie was with me at a difficult and trying time of my life. She put me very much at ease and her work exceeded my expectations. I shall recommend her to any of my friends requiring legal advice.

  • I have just now completed a swift purchase of a commercial property (a medical practice) with Tora Leslie being my solicitor, who was assisted by Emma Brunker. I have used HLF for several pieces of work previously, but I would like to make a special mention for the swift and comprehensive way this particular transaction was dealt with. From the beginning to the end the process was flawless. Emma always responded quickly and managed to do the checks efficiently and whenever I called her she always answered and gave me much reassurance throughout, which gave my mind a lot of ease. Tora is an exceptional commercial solicitor, and she works round the clock to ensure everything runs smoothly and on time. She answers any query I have extremely quickly, and her knowledge and communication skills are exemplary. I’ve had a great experience in purchasing this property and great credit goes to Tora and Emma for this, they are a great asset to your firm. I will recommend my family and friends towards your firm if they need to undertake any commercial transactions and of course I will definitely be using your services again, when the need arises.

  • Tora Leslie dealt with my recent property transfers.I found Tora to be friendly, approachable, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the lead in chasing the other people involved in the transfers and I am sure everything would have taken much longer were it not for her proactive and thorough approach.I would heartily recommend Tora to anyone looking for legal assistance and I will certainly use her again should the need arise.
