Jemma Regan-Cummins—Royds

City solicitors welcome construction specialist

Construction specialist Jemma Regan-Cummins has been appointed as a senior associate at City firm Royds.

John North, Royds’ head of corporate commercial, says “We are delighted to welcome Jemma to Royds and believe she will be an excellent addition to the team.

“The legislation that surrounds construction projects is often complicated and clients want to know they are dealing with solicitors who know the law inside out and can resolve any issues that arise as efficiently as possible.

“Having specialised in this area for several years, Jemma is ideally placed to assist with a range of matters.”

Jemma, previously at Farrer & Co, has built up considerable experience in drafting and negotiating building contracts, professional appointments, collateral warranties, letters of intent and bonds. She has represented a range of clients including developers, construction companies, funders, engineers, architects, charities, museums and high net worth individuals.
