Lupton Fawcett expands leadership team with new partner

Lupton Fawcett has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Julie Evans as a new partner in its commercial property department. 

Julie, who brings over 20 years of experience in the sector, joins from Clarion.  

Julie’s expertise covers all areas of commercial property law, including landlord and tenant matters, representing both SMEs and individuals. In her new role, she will also be actively involved in mentoring junior members of the department and collaborating with the leadership team to expand the firm’s Commercial Property offering. 

She said: “I’m looking forward to playing a key role in the supervision of junior members of the department as well as working with the leadership team to grow the commercial property department. 

“Prior to joining the firm, I was invited to spend time with the team so that we could get to know each other before my official start date – I think this was such a positive approach and a really warm welcome to Lupton Fawcett.” 

Lupton Fawcett boasts offices in Leeds, Sheffield, and York. Julie will be based at Lupton Fawcett’s Leeds office. 

James Richardson, managing partner at Lupton Fawcett, said: “We are really pleased to welcome Julie to the Lupton Fawcett team. She has a broad breadth of experience and has a proven track record in all aspects of commercial property. 

“Having someone with her knowledge and capabilities joining the team is a tremendous boost in taking the commercial property department to the next level. Her no nonsense approach to serving our clients without compromise perfectly complements the Lupton Fawcett ethos.”
