National law firm and Thames Tap partner Mills & Reeve has restructured its real estate sector to create a new offer, designed to help clients align with market priorities.

The strategic repositioning of its real estate offer forms part of the firm’s 2030 growth plans. Mills & Reeves says it aims to meet clients’ needs through a sector-focused approach.

The transformation, led by partner Carina Davis (pictured), the newly appointed head of built environment, brings together the all firm’s key skills across the built environment.

It will bring together more than 200 lawyers specialising in investment, development & regeneration, living, real estate finance and owners and occupiers. Services involved in the transformed offer span estate management, planning and environmental, litigation, corporate real estate, construction, tax and others.

Clients will include domestic and international organisations.

Carina Davis said: “Our restructured offer is built on the recognition that achieving key priorities in the built environment requires cross-sector expertise and collaboration.

“The market faces complex challenges; economic instability, regulatory and statutory changes and increasing property taxes all affecting investor confidence and viability. This requires a wider range of specialist expertise working in close harmony, which is the focus of our evolved offering.

“The new team enables clients to access extensive expertise across the built environment and specialists in key areas. It positions us ideally to advise on high-profile, complex projects and transactions, providing pragmatic and innovative solutions that help shape communities, fund and optimise investments and support the full lifecycle of built assets.”

The built environment team’s expertise spans five key pillars:

  • Real estate investment
  • Development & regeneration
  • Living
  • Real estate finance
  • Owners & occupiers

Carina was Mills & Reeve’s first Generation Y partner and, at the time, its youngest.

Her expertise is recognised widely, including through her role on the British Property Federation’s Build to Rent (BTR) committee, which focuses on sector policy and advocates for policy changes to increase the supply of BTR homes, enhance diversity in the housing market, and address the housing shortage.

She also sits on Mills & Reeve’s board.
