Godfrey Bruce Radcliffe
Director, Solicitor

Godfrey Bruce Radcliffe, a Director of EDW, was articled to the Lincolns Inn firm once known as Trower Still & Keeling and qualified in 1970.

Godfrey held positions principally at the firm now known as Speechly Bircham, before joining D J Freeman in 1977, becoming a partner there in 1978. He remained a partner until leaving D J Freeman in 1994, joining Hobson Audley as a partner. Godfrey joined Thomas Eggar as a partner in November 2002, retiring in December 2006.  He is now a practising consultant to the firm.

Godfrey’s principal area of practice is commercial property, with particular reference to:

• Development and development agreements;
• Joint ventures and related commercial agreements;
• Property finance including institutional funding;
• Urban regeneration;
• Non-contentious construction.

During a long professional career, Godfrey has worked on many substantial projects, many of them institutionally funded and often as joint ventures. This work has involved the public sector, including local authorities, in connection with town centre development, but also the quasi-public sector, particularly transport. For example, Godfrey acted for the then London Regional Transport in its most prestigious development, commenced in the eighties, on the Hammersmith Island site, to include a new underground station, bus station, parking, retail malls and substantial offices.

Other work has included development in enterprise zones, and in particular tenant driven enterprise zone trust schemes. More recently, Godfrey has been engaged on development joint ventures for the provision of student accommodation for universities, using innovative funding techniques. He also has wide experience in the field of regeneration, and was involved in the late nineties in the creation of Trident Business Centre.
