Headed by ‘committed, flexible and very knowledgeable’ transactional real estate expert Liz Gibbons, Acuity Law has continued to solidify and enhance its impressive and growing roster of housing associations across Wales and England. Gibbons, who was recently promoted to partner, has handled some major site acquisitions for core client Trivallis to build affordable housing units. The firm also handles a raft of litigation for housing associations, with the vastly experienced Neil Morgan adept at defending clients in disrepair claims, as well as handling housing management matters, including as these relate to anti-social behaviour among tenants.
