The firm’s reputation for world-class, innovative services and advising on highly complex deals and projects in the commercial property sector offers a fantastic opportunity to further develop my construction practice. Given my experience advising on regeneration projects I’m also excited to get involved in the market-leading urban extension and placemaking development projects on which Farrer & Co acts. Having worked alongside members of the firm’s commercial property, planning and banking teams for the past couple of years for a mutual client, I’m confident that I’m joining a firm with a real commitment to excellence, integrity and client service.”
