Professional Background & Academic Excellence
Joshua holds an LLB from University College London and the Legal Practice Course with Distinction from the University of Law, Bloomsbury, and has completed SQE1. Trilingual in English, Mandarin and Cantonese — spoken and written — he is a natural point of contact for the firm's Chinese-speaking property clients. Before joining Connaught Law he advised at Citizens Advice pro bono, supporting clients across housing, benefits, employment and immigration.
In PracticeResidential Property & Conveyancing Support
Joshua manages residential transactions end to end: contract review, title analysis, drafting of client care letters, contracts and transfer deeds, lender liaison on refinances and transfers of equity, and the full post-completion sequence through SDLT and Land Registry. Identity, source-of-funds and anti-money-laundering checks are handled as part of the rhythm of every file, not an afterthought.
Commercial Property & Corporate Transactions
On the commercial side he supports new leases, lease extensions and enfranchisement, and corporate property acquisitions — share purchase agreements, due diligence coordination, and the transfer of key contracts and operational agreements. His care-facility work adds an unusual regulatory dimension: CQC, Home Office, employment and immigration compliance navigated within the same transaction.
How He WorksClient Care & Community Commitment
Meticulous case management, proactive communication with clients, lenders and agents, and an empathetic, accessible style shaped by his pro bono roots. Away from the office: concerts, musicals, football — and a Grade 8 cellist's discipline brought to every file.
