Law Firm Continues To Invest In Its Business Team

The Real Estate team within the Sheffield office of Irwin Mitchell has announced the appointment of three Solicitors as the law firm continues to invest in building its business legal services team.

James Badger specialises in both contentious and non-contentious construction law, with a particular focus on architectural and engineering work. He has previously worked at Kennedys and acts for employers, contractors, sub-contractors and consultants, he provides general contract and commercial advice and has a broad knowledge of professional indemnity coverage issues.

Lucie Barnes moves to Irwin Mitchell having previously worked for Shulmans in Leeds. She will work in the firm’s Property Litigation team headed up by Partner Danny Revitt and provide advice on a wide range of property disputes, focussing particularly on commercial and residential landlord and tenant matters.

Completing the trio, Daniel Woolnough joins the firm from Kitsons in Exeter. He specialises in a broad range of real estate work, acting for businesses, charities and national companies. His typical work includes advising organisations on new business leases, refinancing, the property elements of business sales and acquisitions and freehold purchases.

All three join a market leading team which was again recently named within the ‘Legal 500’ directory as a top ranking firm in South Yorkshire for commercial property advice. Praised for being ‘clear, approachable and honest’, the department’s construction and property litigation teams also secured top three listings in the independent industry guide.
