Eversheds Sutherland has strengthened its planning and infrastructure consenting offering with the appointment of Robert Gowing as a Partner in its London office. Robert joins the firm’s real estate team from Hogan Lovells bringing extensive experience working with both private and public sector clients.
He regularly advises on complex development proposals, as well as urban redevelopment and regeneration schemes, with a particular focus across London and the South East.
Ranked in Chambers UK and cited in Legal 500, Robert is described as having “a passion for what he is doing” while providing “stand-out technical advice” and “exceptional service”.
James Trafford, Partner and Co-Head of Global Real Estate and Planning, Eversheds Sutherland, said:
“Our planning and infrastructure consenting team is a key part of our wider real estate practice group and continues to grow from strength to strength. Robert’s experience and knowledge will further enhance our offering. I am very pleased to welcome him to the firm and I look forward to working with him.”
Paul Maile, Partner and Head of Planning and Infrastructure Consenting, Eversheds Sutherland, said:
“We are thrilled to welcome Robert to the team. His experience in regeneration and mixed commercial development, as well as in the Government and Infrastructure sectors, aligns perfectly with our planning strategy. With planning now also at the top of the political agenda Robert joins at a particularly exciting time, and I have no doubt his knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to build on our successes.”
Robert Gowing, Partner, Eversheds Sutherland, said:
“The Eversheds Sutherland real estate team has an impressive reputation and client list, and I very much look forward to bringing my skills, experience and ambition to help strengthen and expand the work of the planning team.”
This latest appointment to the Eversheds Sutherland real estate team follows the partner hires of Claire Haley to its private capital team, Rob Donell to its digital infrastructure team, and Berend Zwart to boost its corporate real estate capabilities in the Netherlands.
The Eversheds Sutherland Real Estate team was recently awarded ‘Property Team of the Year’ and The British Legal Awards 2024, and recognised at both The Lawyer Awards 2024 and Legal Business Awards 2024 as ‘Real Estate Team of the Year’.
