Hugh James

Highly attuned to the specific needs of an impressive roster of Wales and England-based housing associations, as well as conversant with governmental decision making, Hugh James provides ‘clear and solutions-focused advice’, which ’takes into account the bigger picture while also being focused on the individual commercial needs’ of the client. Richard Macphail, who oversees a multidisciplinary offering (which draws from property, corporate, employment and litigation practice areas), has deep experience in the sector and continues to be at the forefront of large-scale development projects for housing associations. The ‘exceptional’ Caroline O’Flaherty is ’well respected’ as a result of her vast commercial property expertise, which regularly sees her involved in acquisitions and development matters (including for major regeneration schemes), as well as in the attendant funding of these projects. Recognised as a ‘leading expert in housing law’, Bethan Gladwyn displays a ’pragmatic approach’ to housing management matters.
