Brabners has strengthened its award-winning real estate team with the appointment of partner Robert Arnison.

Robert will bring additional senior expertise to the firm’s almost 120-strong real estate team, which continues to support major national regeneration projects.

Working with colleagues across Brabners’ offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire and Leeds, he will further boost the firm’s relationships with major developers and local authorities that are delivering regeneration and place-led development across the UK.

Robert previously spent more than 20 years at global law firm DLA Piper, where he was a senior figure in the firm’s development team, collaborating closely with other offices across the firm including internationally.

He also served as office training partner, supporting the development of colleagues across a range of disciplines.

Robert has extensive experience in all aspects of commercial real estate with a particular focus on development, regeneration, infrastructure projects and development finance.

He has worked with private and public sector clients, involving innovative investment and funding to deliver important schemes.

He joins Brabners’ real estate team as it continues to advise on a range of major regeneration projects supporting regional prosperity.

These include Oldham Borough Council’s £550m town centre masterplan, strategic regeneration partnerships led by Salford and Manchester City Councils, Eden Project Morecambe and ongoing investment across Liverpool’s iconic waterfront.

Robert becomes part of a team that was named Legal Team of the Year at last year’s Property Week Property Awards and contributed significantly to the firm growing revenues to £55.6million, which shows an 18 per cent increase in its last financial year.

 

Nik White, managing partner at Brabners, said: “Robert is extremely talented and experienced, and will prove a valuable addition to our growing real estate practice, helping them continue to make the difference to our clients.

 

“His vast experience will complement the team’s existing strengths as they continue to influence ambitious infrastructure schemes that are at the heart of regeneration in towns and cities across the North.”

 

Robert Arnison, partner in the real estate team at Brabners, added: “Brabners’ real estate team is widely recognised in our industry as one of the most impressive in the country. The calibre of projects it has worked on in recent years can only be described as transformative.

 

“It’s a pleasure to be joining the firm, not only as it enters a new growth cycle but as it continues to create positive, lasting change in local communities.”
