Clare Gregory has been named head of the Cardiff office of national law firm Clarke Willmott LLP as it celebrates ten years in the Welsh capital.
A partner in the firm’s real estate team, Clare joined Clarke Willmott in 2014 and has been a partner for eight years.
Clare is experienced in all aspects of real estate law with a particular interest in real estate finance, both investment and development funding. Clare also acts on behalf of a variety of clients ranging from individual landowners to corporate entities on acquisitions and disposals, including land agreements to facilitate the energy sector together with asset management opportunities that often flow from this.
She succeeds Vicky Kells as head of Clarke Willmott in Cardiff, which moved into new offices at 2 Callaghan Square last year.
'Being one of the founding partners, I am extremely proud of the success of Clarke Willmott’s first ever Welsh offering over the past decade and I’m excited to be taking on the baton from Vicky,' says Clare Gregory.
'Indeed, the next chapter of our story in Cardiff has already begun with our recent appointment to the Development Bank of Wales’s legal panel and our re-appointment to the Welsh Government Commercial Delivery Framework.
'The Cardiff partners and I are making it our mission to build on the existing wealth and depth of experience that we currently have on the ground and to start introducing additional practice areas and disciplines that will make the services we are able to source even more varied and diverse.
'Our continued growth and ultimately, success in Wales will undoubtedly unlock many more opportunities as well as attract investment and business to Wales and its economy. This is something which our Cardiff partners and the wider business as a whole are very passionate about.'
