Gateley Legal appoints new construction partner in Manchester

Gateley Legal has bolstered its construction team with the appointment of Andrew Harbourne as a partner at its Manchester office.

Harbourne joins the team from his previous role as a partner at Wilkin Chapman Solicitors. Prior to that, he spent eight years at Cripps and has a wealth of construction law knowledge having worked across several areas including property development, commercial development and real estate. He is also experienced in handling property law issues within the charity sector.

In his role at Gateley Legal, Harbourne will assist the team with servicing clients across the North West region and beyond. He will focus on non-contentious construction matters including contracts, development agreements and collateral warranties. Harbourne will also support the development of junior talent.

Commenting on his new role, he said: “I am extremely pleased to be joining the Gateley Legal team in Manchester. After working alongside a few of the team members on previous schemes and having insight into the innovative business model, I knew it would be a great move.”

Emlyn Hudson, partner and head of construction at Gateley Legal, said: “We are delighted to have Andrew join the team here. He brings a wide range of construction knowledge and expertise which will support our clients and meet market demand well. I know he will be a valuable addition to our team.”

Gateley Legal’s construction team operates from offices in Belfast, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Dubai. The team is made up of 11 partners and 38 legal professionals.
