Tyr Law bolsters commercial property with new appointment

Leeds-based boutique Tyr Law has strengthened its commercial property team with the appointment of senior associate Marcus Watson.

Watson joins Tyr Law from Clarion where he had worked on a variety of commercial property transactions, including on both commercial and residential development projects.

He is the latest addition to the Tyr Law team following the arrival of Monika Whittingham last year.

The firm, which was launched on 1 May 2019 by partners Alistair Kennedy, Dean Jowett and Matthew Fidler, moved into new office space at 36 Park Row after an initial expansion over the summer.

Jowett, managing partner and head of Tyr Law’s commercial property team, said “Marcus is a great addition to our commercial property team and fits with our ethos of putting together the best lawyers who will offer the highest levels of advice and service to our clients.”

“Marcus already has great experience in the sector and is making a name for himself in the market. I look forward to working with him as we continue to develop our commercial property services here at Tyr Law.”

Watson added: “I’m excited to join a dynamic, growing team who already have a great reputation within the market. Tyr Law mirrors my ambitions within the legal sector and I’m excited for the future with them and look forward to developing the commercial property practice further.”
