Law firm Lodders has recruited solicitors Samantha Amphlett, Chris Mills and James Leighfield to its real estate group.

Amphlett joins Lodders’ planning and highways team from Warwickshire County Council, where she specialised in planning and highways agreements and was the council’s lead lawyer on the HS2 project.

Leighfield joins Lodders’ strategic land and residential development team from Wright Hassall. He will support Lodders’ head of real estate group Mark Miller, specialising in strategic land and residential development matters and acting for clients including landowners, residential developers, commercial developers, and investors.

Mills also joins the firm's strategic land and residential development team, having worked for national and international law firms including Gateley and Gowling WLG. He specialises in advising developers and landowners on the purchase and sale of land for development purposes. He will support James Mottram, partner in Lodders’ Real Estate group.

Miller commented: 'The Real Estate group at Lodders is one of the largest in the Midlands and supports some of the most active and successful landowners, land promoters and independent housebuilders and developers, both regionally and nationally. This raft of new hires has been made in direct response to an increase in instructions from clients seeking our specialist Real Estate legal advice. Chris, James, and Samantha are each experienced, talented, and skilled solicitors and their appointments represent significant additions to our growing Real Estate group.'
