Gateley Legal bolsters construction team

Gateley Legal has expanded its construction team in the South East with the appointment of Maria Coker as legal director at its Guildford office.

With over a decade of experience, including roles at Equans and Ardmore Group, Maria specialises in both non-contentious and contentious construction law.

She said: “Gateley Legal’s construction team has an outstanding reputation in the industry.

“I’m looking forward to being a part of the thriving team and its varied and interesting workload.”

This appointment aligns with Gateley Legal’s growth plans, following the recent additions of partner Andrew Keeley and newly qualified solicitor Joseph Martin.

Andrew added: “It’s great to have Maria onboard with us. She brings a wealth of valuable in-house experience and commercial awareness which provides an advantage in understanding our clients’ needs and pressures. 

“Since joining Gateley Legal, it’s been brilliant to play an active role in developing the construction team in the South East in terms of strength and depth, with both junior and senior appointments, as well as its enhanced offering to clients through collaboration with the wider Group’s construction consultancies.”

Based across Guildford, London and Reading, the team supports clients in a wide range of construction matters, collaborating with Gateley Vinden for integrated legal and consultancy services.
