Worcestershire law firm mfg Solicitors has expanded its residential development team with the appointment of Paul Harris as a new senior associate.

Clare Regan, partner and head of the firm’s commercial property department, said: “Paul is a talented and commercially aware residential development specialist, underlined by his reputation across the West Midlands.

“We are so lucky to have within the Commercial Property team a well-respected partner in Rhiannon Clark, and a site assembly and plot sales solicitor in Becky Husband,” she added.

“Paul’s arrival will enable us to assist more developers and landowners in the region, with the technical and commercial experience to get deals done and to build on mfg’s reputation for service and approachability.”

Paul is well respected for his specialism in a variety of residential matters, including strategic and immediate land promotion, as well as developer acquisition and disposal. He will be based at the Worcester office.

He said: “My roots are in the area, and my experience with some of the biggest housebuilders, promoters and landowners mean there are exciting times ahead at mfg.

“I look forward to working with Rhiannon and Becky to grow the residential development practice area through my network of existing contacts and increasing that reach further.”

mfg Solicitors has offices in Worcester, Birmingham, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Ludlow and Telford.
