McGrigors expands planning and real estate teams
UK law firm McGrigors LLP has strengthened its growing Projects and Real Estate teams with the appointment of partner, Anna Forge.
Anna joins from Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw and she will be the second partner appointment McGrigors London office has made in the last month. Anna, who previously worked in Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw’s public law group, has extensive expertise in working with developers, corporates and local authorities on redevelopment, public procurement, public law and PFI cases.
Anna will join McGrigors in June to work closely with both the Real Estate and Projects teams, which are both core areas of focus for the firm. She has an in-depth knowledge of public law and planning issues with experience of property development and regeneration projects. Anna's most recent experience includes acting for a corporate client on its objections to the proposed siting of a major energy terminal and advising local authorities on reorganisation issues.
Philip Burroughs, senior partner of McGrigors London said, “Anna is highly respected in the public law field and will be a great asset to both our Real Estate and Projects team. Her diverse public sector experience will be a key asset to our business and we are delighted to welcome her on board.”
Commenting on her move to McGrigors, Forge said, “I’m very much looking forward to joining the team at McGrigors and taking on this exciting opportunity. I look forward to joining forces with the Real Estate and Projects team to offer a wider public law service to McGrigors exciting client base in the planning, development and real estate fields.”
