Winckworth Sherwood—Tim Foley

Property litigation practice strengthened by partner hire

Winckworth Sherwood has appointed Tim Foley as a partner in its property litigation practice. He joins from Freeths, where he was a partner in the real estate team, and has previously held partner roles at firms including Fladgate and Clyde & Co.

Foley advises developers, occupiers and investors across a broad range of property disputes. His expertise includes commercial landlord and tenant matters, dilapidations, 1954 Act renewals, freehold covenants and easements, with a particular focus on managing risk on development sites.

He is well known for advising on issues such as securing vacant possession and dealing with adverse rights that can affect the delivery of developments. On joining the firm, Foley said Winckworth Sherwood has a ‘strong brand in the real estate sector’ and offers a ‘high-quality platform’ on which he can continue to build his career.

Richard Tinham, managing partner, said Foley will ‘expand our service lines to existing clients’ and help ‘grow relationships with those clients that are new to the firm’, adding that the firm is pleased to welcome him.
