Rebecca is a Legal Director with over 20 years' experience as a commercial property solicitor, 16 of which have been within a dedicated Healthcare specialist team.
A core member of the Healthcare team in Bristol, Rebecca specialises in advising GPs and other healthcare providers on all aspects of property ownership and management, GP Leases including sale and leaseback, LIFT buildings and NHSPS Lease Regularisation leases, bank funding, NHS grant funding and development of healthcare property.
Rebecca invests a great deal of time keeping up to date with the healthcare sector so she is best placed to understand the pressures healthcare clients face and advise them on how to both plan for and adapt to the ever evolving healthcare arena.
Rebecca understands that the majority of healthcare clients we support are not specialists in property transactions and concepts, with their focus rightly being on the delivery of excellent healthcare. With that in mind, Rebecca prides herself in taking time to ensure our clients to understand what the issues are and presenting information and advice in a clear way which can easily be shared within the partnership or healthcare business.
Based in Bristol office, but can support you nationally.
Rebecca - thanks to you and the VWV team who have helped us navigate this long and challenging process! You really have been brilliant.
What others say
"Rebecca Beardsley and her team at VWV helped us with the novation of our GP practice last year and I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance that they provided. It was a complex and stressful process and Rebecca and her colleagues helped us to navigate this in a calm and clear way. VWV were great advocates and ensured that our interests were represented throughout the process. They were also mindful of the financial implications of this process and, where appropriate, they tried to support us to undertake some work ourselves. I would highly recommend VWV if you’re needing legal support for your practice. " - GP Partner
“Having found ourselves in the mire of complicated NHS property negotiations, we needed to work with an organisation who inspired confidence. We found Rebecca Beardsley of VWV to be an excellent support, providing no nonsense advice, keeping us away from any pitfalls and up-skilling us in the process. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rebecca.” - Kyla Dawe, Practice Manager.
"I cannot express how grateful I am for your patience, support, hard work and kindness. I can’t quite believe we’ve actually got to this stage. Thank you all for your help - we’d have been lost without you! " - Healthcare Client 2024.
