Gordons strengthens property and banking teams

Leeds-headquartered law firm Gordons has expanded its commercial property and banking teams with two new appointments.

Ruqeia Ahmadi has joined the firm’s commercial property practice from Pinsent Masons. 

She advises clients on acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant lease matters, asset management and corporate support work.

Meanwhile, Gresa Bakolli has been appointed to the banking team, joining from Clarion. 

Her experience includes advising both borrowers and lenders on a range of debt, development, real estate and acquisition finance transactions.

Their appointments further strengthen Gordons’ specialist advisory capabilities as it continues to support clients across complex property and finance matters.

Joanne Fearnley, partner at Gordons, said: “Ruqeia and Gresa are excellent additions to our outstanding commercial property and banking teams.

“They have already made a very positive impact with our clients, providing straightforward, commercially effective advice and are forging strong relationships with them.

“Ruqeia and Gresa have engaging personalities and are talented lawyers, traits which we know set our people apart and that our clients truly appreciate.”

Gordons employs 180 people and advises a broad client base spanning retail, food and drink, logistics and consumer brands from its Leeds head office.
