Law firm sets down roots in Manchester

Jonathan Cox

Law firm Anthony Collins Solicitors has strengthened its presence in the North West after winning appointment to a three-year legal panel for one of the city’s largest housing associations.

The firm, which secured seven out of eight legal lots with One Manchester, is to support the association as it continues the ownership and management of more than 12,000 homes in central, south and east Manchester.

Formed in April 2015, following a historic merger between two of Manchester’s largest housing associations, City South and Eastlands Homes, this continuation of Anthony Collins Solicitors’ relationship with One Manchester will see the firm advise on a number of areas.

The area will include property, development, corporate and finance, employment, general commercial advice and compliance.

This appointment builds on a successful year for Anthony Collins Solicitors’ nationally ranked social housing team, which is expanding into the firm’s new Manchester office from January, led by head of social housing, Jonathan Cox.

Jonathan Cox, head of Anthony Collins Solicitors’ Manchester office, said:“One Manchester has been a long-standing client for the firm, and we’re excited to continue supporting its strategic role in developing communities through innovative partnerships across Manchester.

“This success, along with our strong housing client base in the North West, is a major reason for opening our new Manchester office and recruiting additional property lawyers to support the firm’s work.”
