mfg Solicitors strengthens residential development team

Midlands-based mfg Solicitors has expanded its residential development team with the appointment of senior associate Paul Harris.

Paul, a specialist in residential development, will be based at the firm’s Worcester office and will work alongside Rhiannon Clark, partner and head of residential development.

With over a decade of experience, Paul has represented a range of clients, including PLC housebuilders and promoters. He is well-regarded for his expertise in strategic and immediate land promotion, as well as developer acquisition and disposal.

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.”

Clare Regan, partner and head of the commercial property department at mfg Solicitors, added: “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. 

“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.”

Rhiannon Clark, who heads the residential development team, added: “I am delighted to welcome Paul to the team, he brings common sense and confidence to his transactions, and I know that our clients and referrals will enjoy working with him. 

“I am looking forward to seeing our residential development team thrive in what we expect to be a busy marketplace in 2025.”
