Clare Regan (pictured right), partner and head of commercial property division at the firm, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Emma to the team. She brings with her a huge amount of experience and is a great addition.

‘Her credentials are extremely impressive and her first-class reputation has travelled far. She is already making an impact with our clients and settling in well.’
