Capsticks LLP acts for a large volume of registered providers, frequently assisting them with private developments and related planning and procurement matters. The firm also stands out due to its ability to handle mandates at the cross-over between the health sector and social housing, and well-versed in stock rationalisation mandates. Chimi Shakohoxha chairs the team with expertise in property development, regeneration, and mixed use developments. James Howard is another active team member handling social housing transactions for registered providers, while Susie Rogers sits at the helm of the firm’s treasury and portfolio team. Naomi Roper and Sarah Darvell joined the team from Trowers & Hamlins LLP at the end of 2023, as did Darren Hooker in January 2024.
