The senior team of pension property solicitors at Steele Raymond possess over 50 years of combined Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) and Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS) knowledge and experience, giving the firm a unique and unrivalled position within a highly specialised and complex area of law.
The SIPP & SSAS Property Investment team at Steele Raymond is made up of three leading commercial property lawyers, all with significant experience in providing clients with a bespoke and collaborative approach to pension property investment transactions. The expert team consists of managing partner Jennifer Rogerson, partner Chris Twaits and senior associate solicitor, Johanna Hammersley.

Widely acknowledged as one of the most prestigious guides to the legal sector, the 2021 edition describes Steele Raymond’s Property Group as having ‘unrivalled knowledge’ and rated the firm as one of the top five for commercial property within the Dorset, Devon and Cornwall region.
Speaking about the expansion of the team, head of Steele Raymond’s Property Group, Chris Twaits, said:
“The team boasts unrivalled and significant knowledge and experience in pension property investment. Our commercial property lawyers are among the most experienced solicitors in dealing with SIPP and SSAS pension property investments in the UK and I’m delighted that our outstanding service has expanded to work with pension trustees, accountants, independent financial advisors and private investors nationally.”
In a move which highlights their commitment to the expansion of their SIPP and SSAS services, the team at Steele Raymond have launched a specialist website dedicated to providing clients, accountant, financial advisers and pension trustees with the latest legal guidance for pension property investment.
Consultant solicitor and SIPP & SSAS expert, Caroline Probert, said:
“We understand that investing in a property through a SIPP or a SSAS pension scheme is – for most – not an everyday occurrence and that a judicious approach is often preferred. As SIPP and SSAS legal specialists, we believe it is our duty and responsibility to guide clients through each step of the process and to communicate straightforward, actionable advice throughout each and every transaction. The dedicated website is purpose built to provide our clients, accountants and financial advisers with the very latest thinking on utilising SIPP and SSAS schemes to invest in commercial property.”
Senior associate Johanna Hammersley continued:
“Our clients choose us to assist with the legal aspects of a pension property investment transaction because we act fast whilst always placing them at the centre of everything that we do. Our specialist solicitors are well versed in the intricacies of SIPP and SSAS schemes and pride themselves on acting as a seamless extension of our clients’ teams, collaborating and supporting where required to arrive at the best possible result for all parties.”
