There’s a reason Universal Music chose Amee and GSC Partner Harvey Posener to handle the pre-let of its London HQ in 2015. It was the same reason Bravado entrusted its flagship Rolling Stones store in Carnaby Street to them in 2020, and why, most recently, Abbey Road Institute asked them to manage the legal work for the lease of its new home at the Angel Recording Studios in Islington.

“The level of advice we give and our technical ability really is exceptional,” explains Amee. “We’ll often hear the legal team for the other party say ‘we’ve never seen drafting like this’. That’s because we think deeply. We are not just transactional lawyers following a process. We add value for our clients. We give commercial advice that saves money by identifying risk and reducing it.”

Amee’s philosophy is a simple one: “You achieve better results by building better relationships,” she says. “We work with, not against our counterparts to achieve our clients’ goals. We aim for perfection, but getting the deal done is always the number one priority. Our clients trust us to make that happen.”

She enjoys getting under the skin of her cases, but it’s the end result that drives her. “I love working with clients to help them realise their goals or dreams. Seeing bullet points on a piece of paper turn into something magnificent and tangible is enormously rewarding.”
