Fieldfisher—Rebecca Maxwell

Real estate team welcomes partner in Birmingham

European law firm Fieldfisher has appointed Rebecca Maxwell as a partner in its real estate practice, effective 1 October 2025. Joining from Bexley Beaumont, Rebecca will be based in the firm’s Birmingham office. With over two decades of experience, she specialises in commercial property and logistics, advising institutional landlords and corporate occupiers on acquisitions, developments and leasing of industrial and distribution assets.

Rebecca is known for her strategic insight into emerging market trends such as e-commerce and last-mile delivery, translating these into actionable property strategies. Her collaborative approach and strong client relationships have earned her a trusted reputation among institutional and high-net-worth clients alike.

Antony Phillips, head of real estate at Fieldfisher, said the firm was ‘delighted to welcome Rebecca’ and that ‘her experience and strong market reputation align seamlessly with our growth strategy’. He added that ‘Rebecca will play a key role in driving the continued success of our team in Birmingham’.

Commenting on her appointment, Rebecca said: ‘Fieldfisher’s entrepreneurial culture and commitment to excellence make it an exciting place to continue my practice. I look forward to working with colleagues across the firm to support our clients and contribute to the growth of the Birmingham office.’ She joins Fieldfisher’s full-service real estate team, which advises on complex, high-value transactions across development, investment, finance and infrastructure, and works closely with colleagues across corporate, finance and tax practices.
