Housing Specialist Joins Property Powerhouse Boyes Turner
Elizabeth Hussain has joined Boyes Turner as Head of Housing to lead its Affordable Housing team, part of the firm's top ranked Property group.
Online, February 6, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Elizabeth Hussain will lead a cross disciplinary team of lawyers that provides a "full legal service" to Registered Providers, not for profit and charity sector clients covering employment, commercial and dispute resolution services as well as land development, housing and funding work.
Having trained and qualified at a specialist City housing practice, Elizabeth has spent the last decade working for the housing sector on complex housing projects and high value property finance deals. She has lead some of the largest property finance projects undertaken in the UK in recent years as well as other more unusual development projects.
Nick Carter, head of Boyes Turner's Property group, comments:
"The arrival of Elizabeth, one of the UK's leading social housing lawyers is an exciting development for the firm. It adds further depth to our affordable housing offering and provides further opportunities for growth particularly for our highly respected land development team and will allow us to enhance the service we offer to landowners, developers and funders."
Elizabeth Hussain, head of Boyes Turner's Housing team, said:
"We often hear the phrase "It's a Brave New World" in the housing press so I am very excited to be joining a practice which continues to have confidence in the future of the housing sector. Yes the sector is undergoing a further period of change but that's nothing new or unexpected. Registered Providers are responsible for delivering affordable products and services and this is something which is second nature to the team at Boyes Turner. What we have here is a City service but at affordable prices supported by a great team of lawyers."
