Harrogate law firm Raworths has appointed Heather Roberts as legal director of its commercial property team.
Roberts, who joins from McCormicks in Harrogate, has more than 20 years’ experience acting for investors, developers, landlords, tenants and banks. She will work closely with the wider commercial team including the dispute resolution, employment and corporate & commercial teams.
Raworths' commercial client service head Matthew Hill commented: 'We welcome Heather, whose specialist commercial property expertise will be a huge asset to our growing team which has benefitted from a raft of new client wins over the past few months. There are major opportunities for us to grow our business in this sector, driven by a stronger than anticipated market post-pandemic and growth more broadly across the region where the demand for space continues to surge. Heather’s appointment is part of a strategic recruitment drive for our commercial team as we look to grow our client portfolio across the region and nationwide.'
Roberts added: 'I have been aware of Raworths’ reputation as a legal firm which builds lasting relationships with its clients, and at the heart of that is the unique way the team can draw upon the skills and expertise of their colleagues across disciplines. This approach really appeals to me, and I’m excited to add to the incredible pool of talent here to help grow the commercial property business.'
