Wright Hassall beefs up its real estate offering to the power of ten
MIDLANDS law firm Wright Hassall has strengthened its real estate team with the recent appointment of a further ten lawyers.
The Leamington-based firm now has one of the largest real estate teams in the region outside of Birmingham.
The team now draws together more than 30 specialist real estate, construction, environmental, and planning lawyers.
New partner Terry Dickson has joined from Birmingham practice Emms Gilmore Liberson, while James Richards and Andrew Beresford, both formerly of Gowling WLG, and Andrew Jones, from HCB, have all been appointed as senior associates.
Development solicitor Fiona Martin joins from London-based Charles Russell Speechlys as an associate and Natalie Owen, formerly of Shoosmiths, as an associate with a focus on social housing.
Planning solicitor Ben Arrowsmith has been recruited from Pinsent Masons, while Lauren Perkins, Daniel Macleod and Harinder Kundhi have been appointed solicitors. Paralegal Raminder Kaur completes the new arrivals.
Wright Hassall’s real estate team acts for developers, registered providers of affordable housing, land owners, investors, banks and corporate occupiers across the UK.
In the last six months the development team has been involved in a string of important developments including Tata Technologies’ £16m European HQ development in Warwick, the relocation of Birmingham Wholesale Markets, the relocation of cleaning technology company Karcher UK and Warwickshire College’s new automotive and product creation engineering facilities.
Development partner Mark Miller said: “Wright Hassall’s real estate development team continues to grow from strength to strength offering developers and other clients involved in land development a credible alternative to the law firms they may have considered using previously.”
