Midlands-based law firm mfg Solicitors has strengthened its residential development team with the appointment of Paul Harris as a senior associate. Harris joins the firm’s Worcester office and will collaborate closely with Rhiannon Clark, the partner and head of the residential development team.
Harris brings over a decade of experience in residential development, having represented a wide range of clients, including PLC housebuilders, promoters, and landowners. His expertise spans various aspects of residential development, from strategic and immediate land promotion to developer acquisition and disposal.
Clare Regan, partner and head of the Commercial Property department at mfg Solicitors, expressed her enthusiasm about the new addition. She said, “Paul is a highly skilled residential development specialist with a strong commercial awareness, backed by a stellar reputation across the West Midlands. His arrival will enhance our ability to support developers and landowners in the region, providing the technical and commercial experience needed to successfully close deals.”
Regan added that Harris’s expertise complements the already well-established team at mfg Solicitors, which includes Rhiannon Clark, a respected partner, and Becky Husband, a site assembly and plot sales solicitor. With Harris’s arrival, the firm aims to provide even more comprehensive support for residential development projects in the region.
Rhiannon Clark, head of the residential development team, also welcomed Harris to the firm, noting his reputation for bringing practical solutions and confidence to complex transactions. “I’m delighted to have Paul join us,” Clark said. “He will be a great asset to our team and will help our clients navigate what is expected to be a busy market in 2025. His expertise and approach align perfectly with the values of our firm.”
Harris, who has deep roots in the West Midlands, is excited about the opportunities ahead. He commented, “With my experience working with some of the largest housebuilders, promoters, and landowners, I am confident that exciting times lie ahead at mfg. I look forward to contributing to the growth of the residential development practice and expanding our reach through my existing network of contacts.”
The move comes as mfg Solicitors continues to expand its services to meet the growing demand for residential development expertise, with the firm aiming to build on its strong reputation for providing approachable, high-quality legal support.
