Specialist property investor and developer SAV Group has bolstered its legal and case law expertise with the appointment of two real estate planning experts.
Charles Banner KC has joined the SAV board as a non-executive director and Christopher Lockhart-Mummery KC (pictured) has been appointed as business advisor to the company.
Banner is a leading barrister in commercial development and planning disputes and practises at Keatings Chambers and Lockhart-Mummery is a former deputy high court judge with a career spanning 50 years.
Banner said: “SAV Group has impressed me for years with its savvy approach to planning and its intellectual rigour, taking on interesting sites with sometimes complex legacies that could deter other developers. They are a young, diverse and energised team of genuine experts, far from your typical West End property company, and so I am delighted to be taking on this advisory role.”
Alex Tarlo, founding director at SAV Group, added: “Charles and Christopher join SAV Group at an exciting juncture. Their rich sector experience and unrivalled expertise in navigating complex development projects will be an asset to our team. The firm has enjoyed considerable growth in the past 12 months and is working on some significant sites in Central London. These appointments add to the depth and breadth of our thinking and will play an important role in our continued expansion.”
