Hugh James—Harriet Morgan

Firm welcomes commercial property partner

Hugh James has announced the appointment of commercial property partner Harriet Morgan.

Harriet brings over 20 years of experience. She specialises in charity property and advises on all aspects of governance structures in both charitable and not-for-profit entities, including group structures for, and mergers between, housing associations.

Based in Cardiff and serving clients across England and Wales, Harriet will join the firm’s property team.

Caroline O'Flaherty, commercial property partner, said: ‘I'm very much looking forward to having the opportunity to be working with Harriet again. Harriet and I will focus on building and improving our existing practice and taking it in new and innovative directions.

‘It's an exciting, changing and challenging time within the sector so an opportune moment for Harriet to join the team with her wealth of development and governance/charity expertise.’

Harriet added: ‘I'm delighted to join the team at Hugh James. The team’s predominance in the housing association sector in Wales is well known, and I am excited to build on and grow its charity law offering.

‘Working with Caroline, I look forward to extending the firm's specialist supported housing work and use my property and governance expertise to help our clients go from strength to strength.’
