Forbes Solicitors continues housing team growth

Shauna Helyer joins Forbes Solicitors as a paralegal as the housing and regeneration team continues to grow.

Shauna worked at Forbes previously and after four years, she rejoins from Trowers & Hamlins, where she was part of the firm’s plot sales team. Prior to this she had a role with Chorley Council where she provided key legal support and advice on projects, such as the Market Walk Extension in Chorley.

In her new position at Forbes, Shauna will be part of the home ownership team in a varied role and will use her experience in plot sales to support a number of large-scale sites the team is leading currently.

Commenting on the hire, Jennifer Hankinson, Head of Housing & Regeneration (Property) at Forbes Solicitors said: “There is so much activity in the housing sector currently and this is happening against a fast-changing backdrop and the organisations we work with are looking for advisers with deep expertise and practical real-world experience. Shauna brings both of these to the team and is a key hire as we continue to grow our team.”

Shauna has a degree in Law (LLB Hons) and has completed a Legal Practice Course (LPC). Her experience is predominantly in working with Registered Providers across the UK.

Paralegal, Shauna Helyer added: “Forbes is a fantastic firm with an enviable culture and an unparalleled reputation in the housing sector. Having spent a few years building my experience in different organisations, I’m looking forward to taking on a role with more variety in which I can continue to utilise my plot sales skills while working closely with the development and home ownership team. As well as providing a more interesting development opportunity for me, this collaborative approach offers a better service for our clients.”
