Addleshaw Goddard continues to attract institutional investors, high-profile tenants, and developers to its property litigation practice through its strong presence in the residential sector and strength advising on rights of light work and building safety instructions. The latter has seen continued focus from the firm, with the hire of building safety expert Katie Dunn in October 2024, previously at Hogan Lovells International LLP. Practice head Frances Richardson is a key point of reference on the Building Safety Act. Gregory Simms acts primarily for institutional clients, developers, and forward funders on rights of light work. Dunn is experienced in property management duties, enforcement actions, and risk to portfolios relating to the Building Safety Act. The team benefits from Beth Wilton‘s building safety proficiency and Alison Oates’ far-reaching practice, particularly noted for her work on enfranchisement issues.
