Chimi Shakohoxha – Capsticks LLP

The housing and regeneration practice at Capsticks LLP boasts a well-established team and an increasing number of registered providers that it supports on bespoke private developments. Practice head Chimi Shakohoxha specialises in property development, joint ventures, regeneration, and mixed-use developments for private and public sector housing, and he is supported by James Howard, who advises a wide range of registered providers on land and development acquisitions and stock rationalisation. With its background as a healthcare firm, the practice is uniquely positioned to advise on the collaboration between NHS healthcare trusts and housing associations; in 2022, the team noted an increased interest from both developers and investors in supported living. The practice’s fast-growing housing management group, spearheaded by Michael Owen, saw a growing number of disrepair matters. The group is involved in other recent sector developments, such as sustainability-linked funding and stock transfer to for-profit registered providers, led by Susie Rogers, head of the treasury and portfolio team. Sarah Waite left the firm in January 2023.
