City law firm adds to commercial property team

JD Law has appointed Atalay Sevket to its commercial property team.

Atalay was previously a partner at Kent-based solicitors TG Baynes. With a wealth of experience in all areas of property law, he will be acting for a range of clients including property companies, investors, commercial landlords and tenants and real estate agents. He also deals with corporate support and real estate finance.

Atalay says: “I am delighted to join the team at JD Law. As a property solicitor, I believe it is important to be proactive. I will be working hard for our clients, letting them know about all the legislation they need to be aware of—rather than just waiting for them to come to us with their queries.”

David Merson, who heads up the commerical property department, says: “Atalay is an excellent addition to our team. We pride ourselves on a hands-on approach and that is something he definitely subscribes to.”
