Registered provider specialist joins as partner
Muckle LLP has further strengthened its offering to registered providers by welcoming expert Russell Hall to the firm.
Russell, who joins Muckle LLP as a partner and head of the registered providers team, will lead the firm-wide team as it continues to build upon its already well-established services to the housing sector. He brings with him 15 years of experience working with both regional and national housing providers including Gentoo, Home Group, Isos, Bernicia Group, Four Housing, Thirteen and Places for People.
After graduating, Russell started his career at Newcastle City Council before moving on to Bond Dickinson—formerly known as Dickinson Dees—where he became an integral part of the social housing team. His areas of specialist expertise in the registered providers sector are in non-contentious housing law and practice, governance and regulatory work.
Russell says: “Muckle LLP has a brilliant reputation for engaging with the north east community and this is something which aligns perfectly with the social housing sector. The region's registered providers place investment into their communities and the people who live in them at the heart of their business. Joining Muckle LLP, which mirrors that community engagement ethos, represents a fantastic opportunity for me.”
Jonathan Combe, partner and head of the real estate group, says: “As a sector expert with significant experience, Russell will prove to be an extremely valuable addition to the team. Social housing is a very important area to us and his knowledge will further enhance the service we provide to our clients.”
