Harper James, in its ongoing effort to expand and enhance its commercial property division, has made notable strategic appointments that underscore its commitment to growth and client service. The full-service commercial law firm has welcomed Abdi Ebrahimi as a Commercial Property Development Partner and Michelle Noble as a Senior Commercial Property Solicitor. These appointments reflect a period of significant growth for the firm, further building upon the previous addition of Parmjit Gill, Head of Commercial Property, and Senior Commercial Property Solicitors Alexander Curtis and Sarah Fecitt.
Abdi Ebrahimi brings with him a wealth of experience, particularly in acquisition and disposal strategies, which are essential for navigating the complex landscape of commercial property development. His proficiency spans option agreements, conditional contracts, overage agreements, and back-to-back deals.

Complementing Ebrahimi’s arrival is Michelle Noble, whose expertise in managing complex lending transactions significantly bolsters Harper James’ capacity to support commercial property finance. Her 17 years of experience include a focus on mixed-use developments, as well as acquisitions, disposals, and business tenancies. Noble’s previous role at a top 30 law firm in London speaks to her capacity to navigate the intricacies of corporate support, especially concerning the property components of company sales and acquisitions.
The firm’s leadership has expressed considerable excitement regarding these appointments. Abdi Ebrahimi noted that Harper James’ culture and ambition were evident from his first meeting, emphasising the firm’s depth across various practice areas and its diverse client base as key attractions. In concurrence, Parmjit Gill articulated that the integration of Ebrahimi and Noble marks a pivotal advancement in the firm’s service offerings within the commercial property sector, aiming to better meet increasing client demands.
