Howes Percival announces new hires 

Howes Percival has announced a new management team, promotions and new hires in Norwich.

Chris Cubitt (development), Nicola Curle (development), Estelle Corner (social housing), and Jay Mehta (planning) will lead the development team following Tracey Hughes’s retirement. 

The firm has promoted Tom Skinner to director, Will Bond to senior associate and appointed Georgie Siddall as associate solicitor. 

Bethany Boucher is appointed as associate solicitor in its planning team. 

Corner said: "At a national level, clients are facing challenges in providing much needed, affordable housing in a constantly changing legislative and regulatory environment. Specialist advice in property, planning, construction, and finance from lawyers who understand the issues faced by the sector is essential. 

"Locally, we're seeing issues regarding the rural supply of affordable housing, pressures on supply in tourist hot spots and second homes. In growing employment areas such as Cambridge, supply and cost are also key factors."
