Acuity Law provides ‘flexible and commercially driven’ advice to a range of stakeholders, both out of its Cardiff headquarters as well as its increasingly well-established London office and its nascent Bristol location. Developer work remains a core driver for the team, with longstanding client, Rightacres, continuing to provide a slew of instructions in relation to major development projects in Cardiff. Gareth Baker is pivotal to this work and has been the lead lawyer for Rightacres on its flagship Central Square regeneration scheme since 2014. Damien Cann has also been at the core of this work, particularly as it pertains to the developer’s funding arrangements – work which he combines with significant expertise within the healthcare sector. Steve Morris , who is ‘always supportive and knowledgeable’, co-heads the team alongside Baker, while at a more junior level Ben Honour, who was promoted to partner in June 2022, provides ‘client-focused’ advice on the acquisition and disposal of commercial property and development projects.
