Addleshaw Goddard appoints real estate partner

London-headquartered international law firm Addleshaw Goddard has strengthened its real estate practice with the appointment of Kirsty Black as partner of its real estate team in Manchester.

Kirsty joins the firm from Shoosmiths, where she led the North real estate disputes team. 

She brings more than 20 years’ experience advising on complex commercial property disputes, with particular expertise in landlord and tenant matters.

Her practice spans business lease renewals, rent reviews, dilapidations, service charge disputes and wider contentious property issues. 

Kirsty is nationally recognised for her work with major retail clients and has been ranked as a leading partner by The Legal 500.

Her appointment builds on recent growth within Addleshaw Goddard’s Manchester real estate disputes team and further strengthens the firm’s property capability across the North West.

Chris Perrin, partner and head of real estate disputes Manchester at Addleshaw Goddard, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Kirsty to the team. 

“Her extensive experience and proven track record advising major occupiers and landlords on strategic property matters will be a huge asset to our clients and a key driver of growth for the practice. 

“Kirsty’s appointment, alongside Emily and Hollie last year, reflects our ambition to build a powerhouse real estate disputes team and reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional depth and breadth of service across the real estate sector.”
