Muckle expands Teesside real estate team

Muckle LLP has strengthened its Teesside presence with the appointment of Rachel List as a partner in its real estate team – one of the largest in the North East.

Rachel will play a key role in the firm’s regional growth strategy while advising clients across the public and private sectors on complex transactional work.

She said: “Everything Muckle is doing in Teesside, and its future plans, really stood out to me. 

“I took the move as an opportunity to join an already well established and highly regarded team, and to play an integral role in its growth on Teesside.

“I’ve always enjoyed working in commercial real estate – it is relationship driven and provides an opportunity to work closely with clients over the long term, really getting to know the client and its business.

“Muckle has a fantastic reputation. I feel very lucky to be joining such a great firm and I’m looking forward to helping grow Muckle’s presence and relationships here in Teesside.”

The real estate team is ranked Tier 1 by Legal 500 UK and was named Property Law Firm of the Year at the 2025 Insider North East Property Awards.

Gail Bennett, partner and head of real estate at Muckle LLP, added: “Rachel has been a trusted name in Teesside for years, so when the chance came along to bring her on board, it was an easy decision. 

“Her addition to the team gives us even stronger roots in the region and opens the door to new opportunities for both the firm and our clients. 

“We’re excited to leverage her unique insights to deliver exceptional, relationship-driven services for our clients.”
