New partner for firm’s Birmingham office
Clarke Willmott has welcomed a new partner to its Birmingham office with the appointment of Richard Saxton.
Richard joins the firm’s commercial property team and will specialise in matters related to the leisure, hospitality and retail sectors, as well as in real estate finance and investment.
He acts for owners, occupiers, investors and lenders and will advise on a broad range of commercial property matters for those clients.
Outside of the law, Richard has a keen interest in wine and having completed his wine exams has spent time as a wine columnist and writer, as well as a host of corporate wine tasting events.
Richard said: ‘I am delighted to be joining Clarke Willmott and particularly the commercial property team, which is doing really exciting work in the city and nationally. The firm’s strong reputation for providing high-quality legal services in the property sector was a major incentive for me and I look forward to working closely with the teams and our clients.’
Rayner Grice, head of Clarke Willmott’s Birmingham office, said: ‘It’s great to welcome Richard to our property division. He’s an experienced and pragmatic lawyer with a commercial focus and a strong track record. He’ll fit in perfectly with our team of driven commercial property experts.’
