Firm grows its holiday & home parks team

Blacks Solicitors is expanding its holiday and home parks team with the appointment of a raft of new team members.

Senior associate solicitor Andrew Foulds, solicitor Alannah Crux, associate solicitor Anna Schiavetta, and senior associate solicitor Annie Beaumont have joined the team.

Andrew is an expert in family law, Alannah is a specialist in commercial dispute resolution, Anna is an employment law expert and Annie is an expert in private wealth and succession. All four have knowledge and experience within the holiday and home parks industry.

The team supports businesses through every stage of park ownership, from acquisition or inheritance to park management, and offers guidance on selling or passing down the park efficiently to the next generation in the most tax efficient manner.

Commenting on joining the team, Annie said: ‘It’s been a pleasure to have assisted in the development of our holiday and home parks specialism. I’m committed to continuing to deliver expert and high-quality services to our clients as the holiday and home parks offering continues to grow.

‘Working as part of a committed, well spirited and passionate team is a real privilege and I’m looking forward to witnessing the team continue to shine as we deliver high-quality and specialist services to our clients.’

Nick Dyson, who heads up both the holiday and home parks and real estate teams at Blacks, commented: ‘Over the past decade, we’ve honed our expertise in this field and, in the last 18 months alone, we’ve noticed a significant rise in clients seeking assistance with succession planning, wills and lasting powers of attorney across the holiday and home parks sector, which has led to the expansion of the team. We continue to provide national expertise across the holiday and home parks sector whilst being based in Yorkshire.’
