DWF has announced eight senior promotions across its UK real estate teams, including four new partners, three new associates and a promotion within the partnership.
The four new partners are Glasgow-based Joanna Hamilton, Leeds-based housing specialist Lee Pickett, Liverpool-based property finance specialist Luke Hopkins and Edinburgh-based Paul Mason. Those promoted to associate are Charlotte Chadwick and Pandora Lougheed in the firm’s Manchester office and Nick Wallace in DWF’s Leeds office.
Toby Askin, national head of real estate at DWF, said: “I am pleased that we can acknowledge and reward each person who has been promoted this year. They have made an outstanding contribution to the firm and the wider real estate practice, they have a positive impact on colleagues and deliver exception work to our clients. I look forward to supporting them all in the next phase of their careers.”
DWF’s circa 200-strong national real estate team regularly advises major corporates, developers, investors and occupiers, counting many household names amongst its client base, both nationally and out of London. The group transacted on in excess of £2bn of real estate transactions last year alone.
The firm is ranked tier six for commercial property in London in the UK Legal 500 2016.
