Acting for retailers, housebuilders, landowners, and investors, Clarke Willmott LLP‘s Taunton team advises on a range of investments, sales, and acquisitions. The group is led by Sarah Manley, who has expertise in landlord and tenant matters as well as estate management work. Andrea Livingstone, who joined the team in 2023 from DAC Beachcroft LLP, has further strengthened these areas, particularly in relation to corporate occupier issues, commercial tenant and landlord work, and matters in the retail and office sectors. Development finance expert Robert Hill, who divides his time between Cardiff, Southampton and Taunton, has additional depth in redevelopment and transaction mandates.
