Gateley Legal adds residential partner

Gateley Legal has strengthened its Birmingham-based residential development team with the appointment of Simon Robinson as partner.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Simon specialises in advising housebuilders, land promoters and developers on strategic land, regeneration and complex joint venture schemes. 

He previously spent seven years as a partner at Trowers & Hamlins, with prior roles at Gowling WLG and Eversheds Sutherland.

Simon said: “Helping clients to build the new homes that our communities desperately need is the main motivation for my work.

“So, I have long admired Gateley Legal’s market-leading residential development team and I am delighted to have the opportunity to join them in Birmingham. 

“Now that I am here, I’ve been even more impressed by the size, scope and ambition of the team and it’s great to be able to contribute to their success.”  

Gateley Legal, which acts for 18 of the UK’s top 20 housebuilders, handles around 15,000 plot sales annually and is one of the few firms with a dedicated housebuilder team.  

Callum Nuttall, partner and national head of the residential development team at Gateley Legal, added: “Simon’s appointment brings our Birmingham-based team to an impressive total of seven partners in the Midlands alone, cementing our position as the largest specialist residential development team in the country. 

“His strong pedigree will play a key role in bolstering our offering for clients to service valued long-term relationships and panel appointments for the top UK housebuilders.”
