Muckle Boosts Property Team with New Appointment

Leading North East commercial law firm Muckle LLP has appointed Adrian Hill as a partner in its Property Services Group.

Adrian is a well-known figure in the North East marketplace and is highly regarded as a property development expert. His appointment will strengthen Muckle's existing team, which already represents many of the large developers, such as McAleer & Rushe Ltd, Metnor Group plc and Project Genesis Ltd.

Jonathan Combe, head of the Property Services Group at Muckle LLP, said: "This is a significant investment by the firm and one which we regard as a major coup. Adrian is well connected in the property market and brings with him a wealth of market knowledge and client connections. At a time when many of our competitors are downsizing their property teams, we have seen a significant pick up in the volume and scale of the property transactions which we are handling in 2011."

Adrian Hill said: "Muckle is a firm which has transformed itself over the last few years and I am really excited about being able to make a significant contribution to its future development.  The firm’s commitment to providing an excellent service to its clients and the supportive and ambitious culture as a whole is what really attracted me to Muckle."

Adrian is the sixth new partner to join the firm in the last couple of months against a background of many of Muckle’s local competitors either shedding existing partners and/or reducing the number of internal promotions to partner.
