Barlow Robbins—Charlotte Brackley

Senior associate hire strengthens residential property team

Surrey firm Barlow Robbins has bolstered the residential property team with the appointment of senior associate Charlotte Brackley.

Charlotte joins the team after more than seven years at Forsters LLP in London, where she was formerly a senior associate in the tax, trusts and estates department, specialising in landed estates and residential property. Prior to this, she spent almost a decade with Withers LLP.

Barlow Robbins’s head of residential property, Clare Andrews, commented: ‘Charlotte’s breadth of experience in the sector will prove invaluable to the firm, especially as we continue to build on our residential and agricultural client offering. Charlotte’s commitment to client services meant that she was an ideal choice for Barlow Robbins, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the team.’

Charlotte added: ‘I am delighted to be joining Barlow Robbins’ growing and highly skilled residential team. I am looking forward to bringing to bear my expertise in the landed estates and agricultural areas of the property sector to further enhance their already first-class service.’
