The 'committed, flexible and very knowledgeable' team at Acuity Law provides 'commercially-sensitive and business-focused' advice to stakeholders on development, leasing and regeneration matters in Wales and England. Cornerstone developer client Rightacres continues to inform a significant volume of the Wales-based deal flow, with many of the partners in the group involved in past or current projects for the client. Team head Gareth Baker has been at the forefront of this longstanding relationship and has been the lead lawyer for the developer in relation to its high-profile Central Square regeneration scheme for almost a decade, as well as in other key projects within the capital. Damien Cann has also been very active for Rightacres on the funding front, as well as offering niche experience within the healthcare sector. Appreciated for his 'commercially-focused, clear and timely' advice, which encompasses real estate and planning expertise, Steve Morris has a leading reputation among developers, investors and lenders on the development of commercial and residential schemes in Wales and England. Ben Honour is also recommended, as is recently promoted partner Liz Gibbons, who has 'extensive in-depth knowledge', particularly as it relates to social housing-related work.
