Memery Crystal appoints new Head of Real Estate and hires new Head of Construction

Growing and strengthening the department has been a focus in recent months and Matthew and the firm are very pleased to have been joined by Joanne Kelly, formerly of Taylor Wessing, who will be taking up the role of Head of Construction. Joanne has over 15 years’ experience in the construction and engineering sector, her knowledge and expertise in areas such as real estate development and performance bonds on construction and engineering products will bolster the current real estate offering.

Along with Joanne, the department also welcomes Daniel Abrahams, partner and Craig Jones, associate, both formerly of Philip Ross and both of whom join our commercial property team. Daniel and Craig have experience advising on all aspects of acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant, development schemes and lettings and pre-lettings. They have developed a strong client base, acting for property investors and traders, developers, asset managers, retailers and offshore funds.

The appointment of Matthew as Head of Department and the three lateral hires will cement Memery Crystal’s offering of a full-service real estate department.

Matthew Lindsay comments ‘I am very pleased to take up the position of Head of Real Estate at Memery Crystal. This is an exciting time for members of the department and members of the firm as a whole. I look forward to working with the team and our three new colleagues to continue to provide comprehensive, business-focused advice to our clients and to focus on growing the department and its client-base.

It is a tribute to the strength and quality of the practice that we are able to attract new team members of such high calibre.’
