THE AWARD WINNERS
Property Law Firm of the Year WINNER: Irwin Mitchell
From complex strategic development sites to investment deals, Irwin Mitchell has a strong sector reputation as a leading property firm in the region.
Nevertheless, a delighted Southampton office partner David Fanchi commented: “We have been in our current office for 10 years and unfortunately we are one of the better kept secrets in Southampton and the Solent Region, so it’s actually nice to be recognised that we are significantly contributing to the local economy.”
What caught the judges’ eye? Fanchi felt the award acknowledged the significant team growth and wide range of work of the Southampton office, and he highlighted: “We’ve also had several extremely large transactions, this year. One involved the transfer and refinancing of 3,000 properties, a mixture of commercial, residential and garaging, the value of which was astronomical.”
Property Client Service of the Year
Celebrating a consultancy’s ability to take a client brief and ensure it is correctly managed and serviced.
WINNER: Terence O’Rourke
Awarded for helping Chewton Glen Hotel and Spa with its estate- wide property master plan, including 14 luxury treehouse suites and associated cookery school.
Terry Williams, architectural director: “We are very fortunate to work with some fantastic clients who allow us to create magical projects. Working with Chewton Glen has really been something of a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore dreams and thoughts that you can then weave in and not be constrained by everyday scenarios. It’s been really exciting and fantastic to win tonight.”
Any secrets to good client service? Williams suggested: Listening, understanding clients’ core objectives, helping them challenge stereotypes and even their own business thinking in order to make the best of their assets.
