Double partner hire for housing and property team 

Digby Morgan and Kate Davies join social purpose law firm Anthony Collins’ housing sector and property team enhancing its expertise in affordable housing development, stock rationalisation and regeneration.

Joining the firm’s renowned housing team, Digby has over 20 years of experience in real estate, advising on housing stock acquisitions and disposals, land-led transactions, and multi-million-pound regeneration schemes. He has worked extensively with registered providers, local authorities, and public sector organisations on complex real estate matters.  

Kate’s 15-years in the business has seen her specialise in joint ventures, partnerships and affordable housing developments, advising both registered providers and for-profit organisations. She has a strong track record of delivering high-profile housing projects, including a 1,200-home development.  

The duo’s complementary expertise supports Anthony Collins to continue providing exceptional service to clients, addressing the growing challenges in the affordable housing sector and supporting the team following a series of housing framework appointments earlier this year, which includes reappointment by the Guiness Partnership and Lincolnshire Housing Partnership and new appointments to the Regenda Group and Adra. 

Jonathan Cox, housing sector lead at Anthony Collins, said: 'Digby and Kate are going to be invaluable additions to the housing team. Their experience will be essential as we continue to support our clients in an ever-evolving sector, their appointments will continue to strengthen our property team and the wider housing sector team and our ability to deliver high-quality, socially impactful solutions.'

Digby Morgan, partner in the property team at Anthony Collins, said: 'Joining a firm renowned for its commitment to social purpose and its expertise in affordable housing is a great opportunity. The challenges facing the sector are significant, and I look forward to working with the team to deliver innovative solutions for our clients and help navigate the evolving landscape of affordable housing development.' 

Kate Davies, partner in the housing team at Anthony Collins, said: 'I’m looking forward to working alongside such a talented and passionate team. With the housing sector facing increasing pressures, I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to support clients in overcoming these challenges with sustainable and impactful housing solutions.'
