Midlands firm Talbots Law has appointed Clare Regan as new head of real estate development, with associate and solicitor Lucy George also joining the expanding team. The appointments signal ‘a statement of intent’ in the region’s property market, as the firm aims to reach £40 million in revenue.
Based at Talbots’ Stourbridge office, Regan (pictured, right) will lead a team of eight specialists, drawing on the firm’s growing network of 19 offices across the UK to support clients with major development projects and strategic land opportunities. Both Regan and George (pictured, left) join the team from MFG Solicitors.
The expansion of the real estate development team reflects the firm’s wider growth trajectory, expanding from four offices and a turnover of £18 million in 2021 to a projected £40 million turnover by the end of this year.
‘Real estate development is a key growth area for us, and attracting high-quality talent is central to achieving our ambitious goals’, said CEO Dave Hodgetts (pictured, centre).
“Claire and Lucy are both well respected and bring a wealth of expertise, making their recruitment a clear statement of our intent. With their contribution, we will continue setting new standards for legal excellence and client care in this market.”
Regan commented:
“This is a really exciting opportunity to join a firm that has ambitious plans to grow. Talbots has been making waves in the market in recent years, and I’m keen to build on that momentum.
“My focus will be on working closely with developers, investors, and landowners across the region to showcase the strength of our offer and the exceptional talent within our team.”
Founded in 1828, Talbots Law now employs more than 600 people across its offices in the Black Country, Birmingham, Cheshire, Coventry, North Staffordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire.
