Gateley Legal has appointed Andrew Keeley from Charles Russell Speechlys as a partner in the firm’s Guildford office.
Keeley spent six years working as a risk analyst for a major UK bank before re-qualifying as a solicitor. He joined Charles Russell as a trainee specialising in construction and engineering law and following the firm’s merger and rebranding to Charles Russell Speechlys, he was promoted to partner level in 2019.
In his new role, he will expand Gateley Legal’s national construction team’s offering to support housebuilder and developer clients across the South East with matters including fire safety remedial works.
Keeley said: “Gateley Legal’s nationally recognised construction team is well regarded for its high-quality work and expertise and it’s great to be joining at an exciting time with the plans for further growth.”
Emlyn Hudson, partner and head of construction at Gateley Legal, added: “We’re really pleased to have Andrew joining our team in Guildford. He has extensive valuable construction experience and will play a vital role in expanding the team to support our growing contractor and developer client base across London and the South East.”
