Firm appoints residential development expert in Manchester

DAC Beachcroft has appointed residential development expert Leanne Murray to its Manchester office.

Leanne joins DAC Beachcroft as a legal director from Brabners in Liverpool where she previously headed the specialist residential development team.

Having begun her legal career with Welsh firm Hugh James, Leanne later took up a position as in-house legal director for a residential developer and contractor in South Wales and has built a track record of advising national developers on site acquisitions, disposals and strategic land matters.

With dual knowledge of both Welsh and English planning law systems, Leanne's new role at DAC Beachcroft will see her advise the firm's national developer clients in the northwest as well as a number of contacts in South Wales.

Nick Beko, who heads the residential development team at DAC Beachcroft's Manchester office, says: "We're really pleased to welcome Leanne to the team. To be able to attract a specialist of her calibre and experience is testament to the high regard in which our Manchester residential development practice is held."
