Keebles LLP—Liz Rowen

Firm appoints new legal director

Keebles LLP has announced that it has promoted Liz Rowen to the position of legal director to lead its residential property management department.

The 13-strong team of lawyers, legal executives, paralegals and legal assistants, will provide advice on arrears recovery, service charge disputes, First-tier Tribunal, lease variation and leasehold disputes.

With more than 12 years working within the property management industry, Liz has a wealth of expertise and a deep knowledge of the sector. Liz qualified in 2008 and has held senior positions at several law firms.

Liz said: ‘I feel very fortunate to be able to lead the residential property management service of the firm. As we go into 2021 my focus is to streamline our processes, build on the department’s approach to customer service, and introduce our clients to the full range of legal services offered by Keebles. We have a consistent stream of work coming in with around 100 agents referring to us which I believe is a huge testament to the reputation we have already built within the sector. I look forward to developing our team into one of the strongest in the country and helping it become one of the largest of its kind.’

David Mattocks, chief executive at Keebles, commented: ‘Liz has a vast amount of experience within property management and we’re pleased to be working with her to develop and grow the team. The sector is experiencing a huge demand for legal services and the team is currently working across more than 2500 separate cases and acts for more than 450 clients around the country.’
