Cripps, now incorporating Pemberton Greenish, has welcomed Alyson Thornton-Clark to the real estate team as a partner.

Alyson joins the firm after more than six years with London firm Child & Child.

She regularly advises investors, developers and lenders, including high net worth individuals, banks and offshore property funds.

Alyson commented: ‘I am delighted to be joining the firm. Cripps has an excellent reputation for its commercial and residential property service, which has been strengthened even further by its recent merger with Pemberton Greenish.’

Myles McIntosh, partner and head of the private client team, said: ‘We are thrilled to have Alyson joining the team. Alyson’s reputation and experience will further enhance our expertise in this area, and her client-centric, personal approach to delivering legal solutions fits perfectly with the culture of the firm.’
