Sheffield based law firm Irwin Mitchell has bolstered its nationally acclaimed Conveyancing team by recruiting Philip Bullivant to head up their New Homes conveyancing department in the Sheffield office.

Philip, who was formerly with construction company Taylor Wimpey prior to joining Irwin Mitchell, will be in charge of a team within the firm who will be working with residential developers, managing agents and local estate agencies, offering a complete service on new homes and plot sales.

Irwin Mitchell provides a wide range of conveyancing services for private individuals, financial institutions and developers. Services include sale/purchase work, re-mortgaging, equity release and Islamic finance.

Philip said, "This is a great opportunity, notwithstanding the current competitive market, to offer a conveyancing 'plus' service to developers of all sizes across the full spectrum of the New Homes market with the additional benefit of the depth of resource of the firm the size of Irwin Mitchell.

Lisa Shenton, Partner and Head of Irwin Mitchell's 55 strong Conveyancing team based in the Sheffield office, said: "We are delighted to have Philip on board, his in-house developer experience will be invaluable in shaping a team ready to adapt and deliver to the developer marketplace."
