Alan Harkness—Sintons

New commerical property consultant for Newcastle firm

Commercial property lawyer Alan Harkness has joined Sintons as a consultant, in a move that brings additional strength to its real estate and development team.

Alan, who was most recently a consultant at Jacksons law firm, advises both landowners and developers, and has extensive experience of working on residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes across the north east and beyond. 

He has overseen a host of high-profile projects for nationally-known developers and housebuilders, and is currently working with the Cussins family—with whom he has worked since 1982—on their new residential development at Willoughby Park in Alnwick. 

Alan says: “Sintons is recognised around the region and beyond for its work in the real estate and commercial property sector, and I am very pleased to join the team here.”

Mark Dobbin, partner and head of the real estate department at Sintons, says: “Alan has an outstanding reputation across the region and beyond for his work with housebuilders and developers, so we are delighted he chose to join Sintons.”
