Rina Pattar—Gullands Solicitors

Firm strengthens property team

Gullands Solicitors has recently strengthened its property team with the appointment of solicitor Rina Pattar, who will be based in the firm’s new Gravesend office.

Rina joined Gullands from Young & Pearce Solicitors, where she was a key member of the residential and commercial property department. Rina acts for a wide range of clients from first time buyers and investors to large corporate entities and developers. Rina is also fluent in Punjabi and has a very good understanding of Hindi and Urdu.

Rina says: “I am excited to be joining the Gullands team. The firm has just opened a new office in Gravesend and I am looking forward to bolstering my long standing relationships in the area’s real estate sector. With the high speed rail link, the nearby Paramount and Ebbsfleet Garden City developments and the investments being made into the Gravesend Heritage Quarter, it seems like a exciting time to join Gullands in their venture.”

Blair Gulland, chairman of Gullands, comments: “I am thrilled to welcome Rina. She has an excellent reputation in the property sector and her experience and knowledge of the Gravesend area will be a real asset to the firm.”
