On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

East Midlands law firm Nelsons has welcomed a new commercial property specialist into its Leicester office.

Sanveer Sandhu joins Nelsons as a partner and brings over 15 years of experience advising on all aspects of commercial property law.

He has a proven track record of handling complex, high-value real estate transactions, leasing arrangements as well as lease dilapidation claims.

His specialisms include intricate land acquisition, particularly in energy development, such as solar farms, gas plant generators, biomass and battery storage projects.

Before Nelsons, Sandhu spent three years as a partner at Flint Bishop, advising a diverse portfolio of clients Sanveer has previously worked in both national and international firms.

Sandhu said: “I’m excited to have joined Nelsons and supporting the commercial property team in Leicester alongside James Coningsby, in what promises to be a great year for the firm. Nelsons’ strong presence across the East Midlands and its commitment to delivering exceptional client service, coupled with the support from the wider Lawfront group, made it an ideal fit for me.

“I am particularly interested in developing our energy sector expertise, building on my experience in previous biomass projects and supporting the work Kieron Crowther has been focused on – having worked together previously, I am looking forward to future collaborative opportunities. I also hope to help build our client base.”

James Coningsby, partner and head of the commercial property team in Leicester said: “Sanveer has only been with us a short time, and he has hit the ground running already. His extensive experience and commercial acumen will be invaluable to our clients, with his background in complex energy projects an important aspect within land acquisition, that is rapidly growing. Sanveer’s appointment reflects our commitment to providing top-tier legal services in Leicester and across the East Midlands, and it’s great to have him on board.”
