Law firm launches East Mids residential team

Law firm Gateley has launched a residential development team in the East Midlands.

The new team will be led by partner Steven Plummer who has relocated to the East Midlands from Gateley’s Leeds office.

Plummer helped develop Gateley’s residential development team in Leeds into one of the largest specialist teams in the North of England and says he plans to do the same in the East Midlands and East Anglia.

Gateley director, Callum Nuttall, said: “Our residential development unit is a market leader which has expanded rapidly over the last few years through its offices in Birmingham, London, Leeds and Manchester. Creating a presence in the East Midlands is another significant investment for us in the housebuilding sector and will enable us to support our clients locally. Steven has relocated to our Nottingham office where he will be primarily based, but he will also operate from our Leicester office, ensuring the team can deliver the best results for our housebuilder, promoter and landowner clients in the East Midlands and East Anglia.”

Plummer said: “The East Midlands and East Anglia is a vibrant and growing economy. Despite uncertainty both economically and with the planning system, housebuilding is strong across the regions. My aim over the next twelve months is to develop the team and provide a strong Residential Development offering to the area.”
