Viki Shaw—Browne Jacobson

New hire for firm’s growing real estate team in Manchester

Browne Jacobson is continuing its expansion in the north west with the appointment of lawyer Viki Shaw into its Manchester real estate practice. Viki joins from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council where she specialised in strategic housing matters, academy conversions and the social care sector.

The firm’s Manchester real estate practice, headed by Dominic Buckley and Victoria Thourgood, has recently advised YHA (England and Wales) on the refinancing of their entire portfolio and the development of a world class flagship Youth Hostel at the former Olympic Park site; the Homes and Communities Agency on a £200m mixed use scheme at Northfleet Embankment in Dartford; and Manchester based Renold Plc on all their property work.

Dominic said: “Viki will be a great addition to our expanding Manchester team, allowing us to really boost our real estate experience in the North West.

“She has extensive experience in our target sectors which will suit the needs of both our clients and prospective clients in the region and throughout the UK.”
