Birketts builds up the team

East England firm Birketts has bolstered the housebuilder team with the double appointment of David Springett and Adele Dean.

David (pictured, right) joins the firm as a legal director, after almost 15 years with Gepp & Sons Solicitors. He regularly advises national and regional housebuilders on land acquisition and site assembly, land promotion, and joint ventures. He is also experienced in handling development finance matters.

Adele (left), who comes to the firm after nearly 19 years at Pinney Talfourd LLP, has joined as a senior associate. She specialises in a wide range of land and development matters, including site acquisitions, promotion agreements, development finance and plot sales.

Steven Kay (centre), partner and head of Birketts’ housebuilder tea, said: ‘We currently act for five of the top ten national housebuilders, together with a significant number of other national housebuilders and SME developers and we have had to recruit to meet significant growing demand for our services. I’m delighted that we have been able to recruit lawyers of the calibre of David and Adele and I am sure they will both be tremendous additions to the team.’
