Bradbury joins Ward Hadaway
The law firm’s Manchester office has strengthened its real estate team, welcoming Richard Bradbury as a partner.
Bradbury spent close to 10 years with Slater Heelis, making partner in 2023.
Ward Hadaway said he advises investor and occupier clients on a wide range of commercial property matters, including acquisitions, disposals, landlord and tenant work, real estate finance, development and corporate support.
Bradbury is now in post. The firm said he joins during a period of continued expansion with the firm investing in senior talent to support client demand across key sectors such as industrial, office, retail, leisure, healthcare and pension fund property.
Kevin Weston, head of real estate at Ward Hadaway, said: “Richard is a great addition to our team. His broad technical knowledge, commercial insight and proven ability to work across complex transactions make him an excellent fit for our growing client base.
“We’re pleased to welcome him at such a positive time for the firm, and we’re confident his experience will add real value to our clients.”
With an office in Chapel Walks, Manchester is described as a key growth area for the Newcastle-born firm, with a property team advising on a number of high-profile projects across the region.
Bradbury said: “I am excited to contribute to the expertise and stellar service which the Real Estate team and the wider firm have become renowned for.
“The firm already has a great reputation for the service it delivers for clients and I’m looking forward to playing my part at a time of exciting growth.”
