Property disputes pair join as partners

National firm Weightmans has bolstered the property litigation team with the appointment of two partners, Anna Albini and Helena Bannister.

Anna and Helena both join the firm’s Birmingham office from Emms Gilmore Liberson, where they worked together for more than six years. Anna (left) acts for commercial developers, landowners, public authorities and government bodies, and offers expertise in a range of property litigation matters including service charge disputes, breaches of covenant, and forfeiture.

Helena (right) is also highly experienced in property litigation, advising national retailers, managing agents, landed estates and developers, as well as individuals and small businesses. Her recent work has included advising residential managing agents on a range of long residential leasehold disputes.

Sian Evans, head of housing and partner in the property litigation team, said: ‘Handling property disputes is one of Weightmans' key areas of expertise and the property litigation team acts for public and private sector landlords, tenants and real estate developers across an incredibly varied client base.

‘Our team continues to grow in line with the increasing demand for our results-driven service. Anna and Helena are both incredibly skilled and knowledgeable lawyers with exceptional track records and we are delighted to welcome them to the firm.’
