Davitt Jones Bould—Simon Thornton-Graham

Real estate law firm welcomes new partner

Real estate law firm Davitt Jones Bould has appointed a new partner, property lawyer Simon Thornton-Graham, a property lawyer with experience in supporting US firms to boost capacity in this area in response to growing demand.

Simon has acted for international clients across the full real estate cycle, including acquisition, development, leasing, management and disposal. He has worked in-house for firms such as Amazon and Getir, as well as in private practice, including a ten-year stint with US firm Latham & Watkins.

The practice has long acted as real estate partner to a wide range of firms including those from the US, scaling its specialist support up or down according to requirements.

Commenting on the appointment, Peter Allinson, chief executive at the firm, said: ‘Our model enables us to rapidly deploy specialist real estate lawyers for as long as they’re needed—whether acting as an outsourced real estate department over a number of years or simply addressing short-term projects and objectives. Simon is a first-class lawyer with excellent experience supporting US firms and we’re absolutely delighted to welcome him to the team.’
